Trost Named MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week
Keagen Trost picked up the recognition after grading out as ISU's top offensive lineman in the Sycamores' 21-0 win over Western Illinois this past Saturday. The Kankakee, Ill. native graded out a team-best 91% on the field and didn't allow a sack or quarterback hurry in the win over the Leathernecks.
ISU's starting right tackle for most of the season, Trost moved to right guard against WIU following an injury and helped power the Sycamores to new season-highs in both rushing attempts (51) and time of possession (38:25). Trost also helped guide the way for both
Justin Dinka (4.4) and Tee Hodge (4.8) to both post over four yards per carry in the game.
