Joey Porter Jr., Kalen King and Daequan Hardy
Redshirt junior Joey Porter Jr. is back for his third season as a starting cornerback for the Nittany Lions. Last season Porter Jr. forced fumble, had an interception, and 4 pass breakups. While he struggled some with penalties down the stretch last season, which is likely the reason he did not go pro, Porter Jr. should be one of the best cornerbacks in the Big Ten this fall.
Joining Porter Jr. as a starter on the outside will be true sophomore Kalen King. When King arrived in Happy Valley the coaching staff was very happy to have him and felt he might be the best cornerback they have signed.
