Only Joey Porter Jr. Until Penn State Football

Joey Porter Jr. may currently be known mostly as the son of the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, but by the end of this upcoming season, he could be known for being one of several key players in the Penn State secondary. At 6’2” he is tall for a cornerback, and also has long arms, giving him an edge in one-on-one situations where a pass is thrown up with the opposing quarterback relying on his receiver to make a play on the ball.

After garnering a pass breakup and three tackles last season in his redshirt year, look for JPJ to carve out a bigger role in 2020 as part of the cornerback rotation.
