Nebrasketball Player Profile: Bret Porter

Related Topics: Bret Porter, Nebraska, rebound

Bret Porter doesn’t scream “Nebraska high school basketball star.” His junior stat line was around 14 points and eight rebounds per game. Respectable numbers that would likely have built to a special senior season.

Unfortunately, a torn ACL in the spring of 2018 left Porter not at full strength in the 21 games he played as a senior. He averaged six points and four rebounds.

But his 6-foot-6, 215-lb frame was perhaps enough for Hoiberg to give the Millard North product a shot as a walk-on. He was born to be a Husker athlete after all.
