MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The first round of preseason picks for the 2024-25 men's basketball season are in, coming from Chris Dortch's Blue Ribbon Yearbook. Jestin Porter was chosen to the Conference USA Preseason Team, while MTSU was forecasted to finish fourth in the conference by Dortch.
The Blue Ribbon Yearbook first began in the 1981-82 season by Chris Wallace, with numerous television networks using it to prepare for the season. The NCAA tournament selection committee also uses it as a point of reference for bracket spots throughout the season.
Porter is coming off a standout junior season, where he collected NABC All-District, Second Team All-CUSA, and CUSA All-Tournament honors, as well as two CUSA Player of the Week awards.
