Laytwan Porter is NIU’s steady, playmaking guard with low-usage value and real feel for the game
Porter profiles as a useful connector rather than a high-volume scorer: in the 2025-26 season, he averaged 5.6 points, 2.3 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game, while NIU notes he led the Huskies in assists six times and scored in double figures five times, showing he can influence a game beyond box-score volume.[2][7] He also logged 17.4 minutes per game and had a season-best 13 points against Ohio, suggesting a reliable rotation guard who can handle the ball, move it, and chip in when needed.[7] If you want a poised, team-first guard who adds structure more than flash, he’s a fit.[2][7]
