trammell logan He returns for the 2024 season as one of USF's most experienced defensive players. He appeared in 46 games and developed a reputation as a sturdy and reliable performer. He does the dirty work, but he's now known for something else.
He's Touchdown Trammell.
An edge player who is currently listed as an outside linebacker, Logan tied for the nation's lead in defensive touchdowns last season (3 touchdowns led by Oklahoma's Billy Bowman and Washington State). (along with the great Jackson Brennan).
He had a 70-yard fumble return against Navy, a 22-yard interception return against Temple, and a 61-yard fumble return in the Boca Raton Bowl in a 45-0 win over Syracuse.
“It was crazy,” Logan said with a smile.
Some defensive players only dream of getting to the end zone. For Logan, it became a winning habit as his play contributed to his three wins for USF.
“Trammell has a motor that a lot of guys don't have,” linebacker said. Jarin Shuler Said. “I love seeing Trammell succeed. He's a really great type of guy who always tries to elevate himself to his level, whether it's a defensive lineman or a safety playing on the backside.
“He has high standards. He goes after you. It's never malicious. But he's like, 'Come on, dude, we need you to be better.' . He can bring out greatness in others. ”
And those qualities will be utilized by defensive coordinators. tod orlando During spring training.
“What we're asking of Trammell right now is we're asking him to lead others,” Orlando said. “He has a unique skill set. He's a dynamic pass rusher. He can be flashy athletically, but he's also a very tough kid. We're looking to him now to take the next step.” I'm asking you to move on.
“He can give his knowledge to others. When going into training, it must look very pure and hit KP (kevin patrick, Defensive Line Coach) Standard. If you saw Trammell do that, as a young man, he would think, “That's the thing to do, right?'' He's a serious and tough guy. He has no choice but to do it. ” Tramell could be such an example. ”
Orlando said he worked hard to gain Logan's trust last season. Logan won a state championship at Miami Booker T. Washington High School. Alex Goresh And a new coaching staff. His individual results since then have been excellent.
“Now he has to show consistency. Can he be humble enough to say, 'Okay, I'm at this level,'” Orlando said. But I want to get here and I need to take one step forward every day. ”
“It's very hard to do that now. Everyone wants an immediate reward, they want a push on their back. You get a little taste of success, so you can take the next step. What do we need? That's what we're trying to get right now. ''
Logan said he intends to raise the bar.
“Mentally, I want to win every game and finish with a championship. This is my last year, so I want to end it with a bang,” Logan said. Let's go out big. Go big or go home. That's the mindset we're bringing this year.
“Last season, when the new coaches came in and told us what they expected, it was definitely built on trust. You could see the vision and feel closer to the coaching staff. We're getting closer. We really love what we're doing right now.'' What we do this year will not only impact us, but also because of what we're working on in the future. I think it will establish the USF program. ”
Logan is driven by wins, not individual statistics. But if there's a chance he gets to the end zone one or two more times down the road, Logan would be fine with that.
“There were times throughout my college career where I felt like I missed an opportunity (to score), whether it was an interception or a takeaway,” Logan said. “I remember he missed the pick against Florida A&M, but there was plenty of room to score,” the score said. That's why I always told everyone, “I'll buy it for you.” I'll buy you one. ” ”
Last season, Logan had three (touchdowns).
“I kept looking for that feeling,” Logan said. “And suddenly it happened. And it happened again. And again.
“It's been great. But I know I have a job to do, not just for myself but as a leader for the entire team. The coaches have done a good job of setting the standard. It's our responsibility to protect that and we have done so. “We had a great turnaround last season and now we have bigger things in mind.”
