Freshmen Faces: CB Daryl Porter Jr.

Recruitment

Daryl Porter Jr. (5'11", 175 lbs) of Plantation, Florida was one of the later members to join the 2020 class as he committed to West Virginia just one week prior to signing. His recruitment with the Mountaineers gained ground quickly in later November, leading to his early December visit. Porter Jr. picked the Mountaineers over other offers from Utah, Washington State, Baylor, Boston College, Indiana, Louisville, TCU, Ole Miss, Minnesota, and numerous others.

Player Breakdown

Porter Jr. is a bit undersized, but you wouldn’t know it by watching how he plays. Isn’t afraid to go up for 50/50 balls and will get physical. His biggest asset is his speed, probably has the most speed of the secondary signees in this class.

2020 Outlook

Porter Jr. has been impressing early in fall camp, so I would imagine that he will see playing time in the cornerback rotation to some extent. With Jackie Matthews, Nicktroy Fortune, Dreshun Miller, and other battling out for a starting role, Porter Jr. will more than likely see limited action. He should have a much increased role in 2021.
