Davis Garnering Significant Interest

PORTER DAVIS AT HOFSTRA IN 2009

Porter Davis' career on the football field ended abruptly.

"We played that last game and that was it. I wasn't prepared for it. I knew it was coming but I wasn't prepared."

Porter was a star linebacker at Hofstra in 2008 and 2009. Hofstra elected to suspend their football program following the 2009 season.

Porter, and undersized linebacker, walked on at Eastern Michigan where he saw limited playing time in 2010 and 2011.

Porter finished his degree then stayed on at EMU as a graduate assistant.

"I hadn't thought too much about coaching before that." He explains. "It was basically a way to put off finding a real job."

Porter worked closely with the defense and coordinator Phil Snow, reportedly picking things up very quickly.

"He had always been like a coach on the field." Snow says. "He picked things up extremely quickly and was doing way more than I had ever seen a GA do before."

With teams looking to find the next young "genius" coach a number of schools are eager to get the 25 year old Porter on board as their next defensive coordinator.

Porter, who wasn't heavily recruited as a player, is taking it one day at a time.

"Lot's of phone calls, lot's of bouncing things off people I trust. It's been a whirlwind."

Re: Legendary - The Career of Porter Davis

djp good luck with this chise man. These have been such a nice part of my life, a place to just deposit an hour or two of my time and forget about the frustrations of the day, money issues (it costs nothing), and anything else going on. I'm sure it's that way for many of us. I'm happy to be able to follow this.

Thanks man, I appreciate the sentiment. I'm really hoping to get elbow deep in this one. You and Geezey (and a few others) inspired me to dive back into NCAA14. Seems like some of us have been at this forever.

Things are a lot different in the 'chising world and in life from when a bunch of us got started. I've got a son now and a lot less time to game in general but this is really how I like to spend the gaming time I do have. Hope you'll all enjoy the ride.
