Porter’s long-term commitment to Baylor was aided by the fact that he lived nearby in Lorena. Porter, a wide receiver and cornerback for the Leopards, assisted Lorena in defeating two of the top teams in the 3A D-I rankings.
Depending on the depth of the offense at that position, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound player might get to see the field in Jake Spavital’s offense as the new offensive coordinator.
Reed, who made his debut as a sophomore in 2021, is a huge loss for Mansfield Summit. With 12 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 12 pass breakups, 4 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries, Reed was all over the field.
The DFW native will give defensive coordinator Matt Powledge’s unit more depth, and Reed ought to do well now that Aranda is handling some of the linebacker group’s duties. Inside linebackers have been placed in the NFL by Aranda in the past, most notably when he was the DC at LSU.
Top uncommitted prospect they are looking for: Football player yrGiece Goodman
Baylor’s defense, which allowed 33.3 points and more than 420 yards per game, is in dire need of assistance. Goodman, a Wisconsin JUCO prospect, could provide immediate assistance. Goodman has offers from a number of other schools, but if he commits soon, Aranda might be able to get him into the rotation right away.
According to 247Sports, Goodman is currently ranked as the No. 9 JUCO linebacker. He would give Aranda and Powledge’s defense three-star depth.
