We do a segment called "Tour of the Upstate", in which we interview our (South Carolina) high school player of the week.

This week it was Dorman running back DJ Porter who rushed for 200 and notched another 66 receiving in a 39-23 win over 5-0 River Bluff (Lexington, SC). He's the #3 recruit in the state. We spent about 5 minutes with him today if you care to check it out.

Reminder...this is not meant to be an in depth "tell all" interview. It's a congratulations for a break out performance and "get to know you" type chat.

If he honors the commitment, that is two talented RBs we would have on the roster given the freshman this year. We just reload at RB...that is what we do!!

I’ve watched this guy play. One time. He is very shifty and can hit the hole quick. Reminds me a little bit of Noel.

We need to "Load" at defensive back. We need to make it a prerequisite that you have to play defensive back before you can play running back. Maybe we can get some people excited about playing defensive back for APPSTATE.

The thing about Porter - he is small. He seems to be fast, I don’t know what his speed numbers are, but he is not incredibly fast. Did not outrun the angle a couple of times like I’ve seen some backs do.

I noticed that too when I looked him up. Seems like a good all around athlete who could play almost anywhere.

He was recruited as a CB. Jeremiah Coney is the RB in this class.

Diesel, tell your guy to stop trying to talk our recruits out of their commitment. Man! You would think Boone is Nome, Alaska after listening to this guy.
