2017 Signing Class Spotlight: Robert Porcher IV, Defensive Line

Let’s get one thing straight out of the gate: it is pronounced “poor-shay”. You’ll want to learn the name, because you’ll be hearing it a lot over the next few years.

Perhaps lost in the shuffle of the great defensive class the Hokies secured this year, 3-star recruit Robert Porcher IV is a 6’3″ 250 lb force on the defensive line. He dominated in his senior season for the Panthers of Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, FL.

Porcher’s 104 tackles, 40 tackles for loss, and 17 sacks caught the eye of many blue chip schools.
