Defensive Lineman Robert Porcher IV commits to the Hokies

Yawn. Another day, another commitment. What is this, four in a row? Why yes, yes it is. Following three fellow defensive commitments (S Devon Hunter, CB Bryce Watts, and MLB Dylan Rivers), Tech has added a defender on the line, a Floridian named Robert Porcher. If that sounds familiar to anyone, his father, Robert Porcher III, was an NFL player for the Lions- a former first round pick and owner of 95.5 sacks over a 12 year career, with three Pro-Bowl appearances. That’s not a bad career. And now, his son will be a Hokie (his father went to SC State).
