JACKSON, Mississippi -- Robert Porter Jr. first learned of Jackson State through a video his coaches showed.
The video was an ESPN feature on former JSU quarterback Casey Therriault. Porter, a Roseville, Mich., native, played at Grand Rapids Community College, the same program Therriault — JSU’s record holder in single-season passing yards (3,791) — played at before transferring to Jackson State.
The connection sparked Porter’s interest in the Tigers. Now, he will be part of two programs where Therriault left his legacy.
Porter, a 5-foot-11 185-pound cornerback, recently committed to Jackson State. He had a few Division II offers but wasn’t interested in any.
