Louisiana Tech LB with proven tackling production and playmaking upside
Rufus Porter’s best selling point is simple: he’s a productive, instinctive linebacker who has already shown he can rack up tackles, finish plays, and contribute as a senior-level leader. Louisiana Tech listed him at 6-0, 200, and his high school résumé featured 111 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 3 interceptions as a senior, signaling both range and disruptive ability.[8][6] He was a signed recruit at Louisiana Tech and graded as a linebacker prospect, which fits a player with good pursuit and coverage awareness rather than pure size-based dominance.[4][6]
