Darien Porter hopes to help fill the hole left by All-American cornerback T.J. Tampa at Iowa State. The native of Bettendorf began his career as a receiver and was moved to defensive back prior to the 2022 season.

Porter says Tampa won’t be easy to replace.

Porter says the defense is using a 36-26 loss to Memphis in the Liberty Bowl as motivation.
