Porter is rewarded for his contribution to Penn State’s 35-31 victory over Purdue on Thursday evening, as he racked up a team-high eight tackles and forced six incompletions.
The North Allegheny, Pennsylvania, native was named to the award watch list over the summer and is expected to be a key contributor to Penn State’s defense. The veteran cornerback is currently projected as a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Porter has been a force during his time at Penn State. During his first three seasons in Happy Valley, Porter made 88 tackles, one interception, and broke up nine passes.
