Columbus, Ohio • With grit, grind, hustle and heart, Abel Porter provides a special kind of fuel that keeps Utah State rolling.
Porter, is a sparkplug for the Aggies, who have arrived in Columbus for the NCAA Tournament with momentum on their side. USU is riding a ten-game winning streak.
Prior to becoming a starter back in January, the sophomore guard tackled plenty of adversity. As a walk-on freshman, Porter broke his foot early in the season. Last year he averaged around seven minutes a game. Then, Utah State made a coaching change and hired Craig Smith, and everything started to change for him, albeit gradually.
