Penn State received a very nice Christmas gift yesterday morning when redshirt sophomore cornerback Joey Porter Jr. announced that he is returning to Happy Valley for his redshirt junior season.
Porter Jr. bursted onto the scene in 2020 when he surprisingly won a starting cornerback role over fellow 2019 recruiting class signees Keaton Ellis and Marquis Wilson. He continued to impress in 2021, finishing the season with 48 tackles and 1 interception on his way to third team All-B1G honors.
The return of JPJ gives Penn State a bonafide No. 1 cornerback, but of course, there are things for him to work on.
