Porter, at running back, looked sharp during drills, showing a mix of agility, balance, and smoothness in every rep. In cone and change of direction drills, he shifted quickly and stayed low, navigating tight spaces with control. During ball handling reps, Porter demonstrated clean transitions, keeping the ball secure while accelerating out of breaks. His footwork and burst allowed him to move through lanes fluidly, and he consistently looked confident and composed in every drill.

Read EvaluationMarcus Henry | Prep Redzone Scout
Porter was a force throughout the championship matchup, delivering a performance that highlighted why he’s one of the more intriguing young backs in the state. Built with a stout, compact frame, Porter runs with authority while still bringing juice and creativity in the open field.
He showed excellent contact balance, ran decisively between the tackles, and displayed soft hands as a receiver. His signature moment came on a clutch jump-ball reception, a rare play for a running back, that pulled Newton within one point late in the title game.
A true dual-threat with burst, power, and versatility, Porter’s skill set clearly projects to the next level and as a junior, his best football is still ahead of him.
