I've seen him make a big play in each pre-season game and I wasn't even aware he was on the Rams until the announcers made reference to him. He made another this week obviously, so I looked up what they are saying about him:

They are the youngsters, two of the new guys on a Rams defensive line loaded with talent and experience.
But undrafted rookies Louis Trinca-Pasat from Iowa and ex-Northwest Missouri State star Matt Longacre are trying to force the coaching staff into making some tough roster decisions.
“Both have been really impressive,’’ Rams coach Jeff Fisher said after Saturday night’s preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts at the Edward Jones Dome. “Matt’s playing both ends and Trinca-Pasat’s playing both tackles. They just make plays. They shock and shed people and get off blocks and penetrate and put pressure on the quarterback, so it’s been great to have them here.’’
In Saturday’s game, Trinca-Pasat led both teams with 54 defensive snaps, with Longacre in on 42. Both were on the field for a pair of special-team plays.
“Just trying to make the most of every opportunity,’’ said Trinca-Pasat, a 6-foot-1, 292-pounder from Chicago who’s second behind linebacker Bryce Hager on the team with 15 preseason tackles to go along with three QB pressures and a QB hit. “I don’t ever want to say I’m doing the job because I always feel like there’s more work to be done. That’s just my mindset.

The Rams must cut 15 players by tomorrow. Who would you like to see stay/leave? (self.StLouisRams)
The biggest two I would like to see stay is Louis Trinca-Pasat and Bryce Hager. They have both been absolute monsters when they are in the game.

DT Louis Trinca-Pasat: With Nick Fairley sitting out, Trinca-Pasat flashed some ability to get penetration by blowing up a couple of run plays of his own. He had two tackles, including one for loss, on the evening and bolstered his case to stick on the roster.

Fisher had high praise for UDFA DT Louis Trinca-Pasat and DE Matt Longacre. Says decisions will be tough on DL.
Fisher says with first round of cuts coming next week, there's probably about 49 spots Rams feel good about. Will be competition for final 4
I'd wager That LTP and Westbrooks are battling for one of those 4
