Haha! First time I haven't liked a kid based on his video. Probably good for the WR room, though.

That’s a 5 star WR build right there

I saw this today and thought there's the next first round WR since Fuller. Looks like a Hoss

Reading the comments from Buckeyes fans, he was the one they were sad to see leave Columbus.

I’m not up to speed here, what injury is he coming off of?

Is there a real concern he won’t get back to 100%?

They fully expected Porter to take over once Smith left.

I think there has been a little cageynous (if thats a word) about what his actual injury and surgery truly was. It was reported as knee clean up relating to his patella tendon. But a torn patella at worst case scenario can be a year recovery. The nature of the injury was also kinda secretive at OSU which also made it kind of weird. Everything reported by the beat has been that he should be ready by summer.

I'm speculating based on available info but "Cleanup" refers to debridement, he likely had some patellar tendinopathy (essentially loose collagen fibers that didn't heal right) from overuse that results in persistent pain. It should not affect functional ability long term

I just don't know why ND would post this unless it is some kind of a joke because he doesn't come off well IMO.

OhioIrish · May 2, 2026

He does come off like and ass in that video. That said, just watched his tape for the first time — I’ll be shocked if he is not starting by week 3.

On twitter it was the opposite. Happy we got both!

Yeah I don't know the medical terminology but this tracks or should at least be in the ballpark. What I heard was that they had to "clean out" his knee because it was locking up and giving him chronic pain. Don't know if that was cartilage, scar tissue, meniscus, etc. but personally I always get skeptical when there is opaque reporting around joint injuries. We will certainly know by fall camp what we've got.

Sounds like what my left knee needs. Beer league softball at 34 ain’t the same as it used to be

Why? Kid chopping it up just messing around and staying engaged with him teammates.

Yep, I'm not familiar with the mechanism of the orignal injury. If there was no acute injury, it likely is "jumper's knee" and pretty benign. A worse possibility would be if he suffered a partial meniscal tear and it was a debridement of that, would typically require longer recovery on the order of months, not weeks.

Yeah, he literally just joked around with his teammates. Pretty standard stuff for an injured player. I guess if a kid isn't reciting the Nicene Creed on the sidelines, some of these dorks label him a diva and an ass.

Who's his comp in a Denbrook offense? Thomas Jr?

Agreed, just young men talking smack to each other. It's great for team bonding and brotherhood.

He didn’t say “god” 15 times in 20 seconds, not an RKG.

NumbersGuy0520 · Aug 16, 2026

Bumping this thread because I’ve seen a lot of comments lately about Porter’s readiness (or lack thereof) and so I found it interesting to reread his thread history.

Does anyone here—those with background on sports injuries/recovery timelines—think they have a better sense on what we have in Porter? Especially now that a few more months have passed and we’ve seen more from him?

Would be great to see him get back up to speed, but I’m growing pessimistic. Or maybe just impatient. I do think we thought he’d be further along by now.

The media training these kids have is amusing.

The media any time a player does anything different - "He showed an ounce of personality? Yeah, that kid should be thrown away. I want my STUDENT athlete praising god 19 times and taking it one play at a time. THAT'S a true RKG".

That's exactly what it sounds like in this case

Once again I'm more confused about his timeline than ever. We are now somewhere between a couple of weeks and he may never play football again.
