2014 wide receiver Emanuel Porter (Dallas/Lincoln) has the kind of story many prospects dream of.
Porter hasn’t played a down of football since his freshman year. An athlete who’s made his name on the AAU basketball circuit, Porter expressed his interest in 7-on-7 football the last few days of school.

On Saturday, the kid who will play his first down of varsity football in a couple of weeks verbally committed to a Big 12 program.
