Texas Tech offensive lineman Sterling Porcher, who has served as the Red Raiders starting left tackle and left guard in 2024, has entered the transfer portal, according to 247Sports Matt Zenitz.
Listed at 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, Porcher was a multi-year starter at Middle Tennessee and has 37 career starts under his belt. Porcher was set to exhaust his eligibility after the Liberty Bowl, but thanks to the evolving rules with former JUCO players, it appears he’ll have one more season to play with a new program.
He started his collegiate career at Iowa Western Community College, and then played the 2022 and 2023 seasons at MTSU before transferring to TTU last December.
Per PFF, Porcher logged 747 snaps over 10 starts with Texas Tech in 2024, starting two games at left tackle and the final at games at left guard.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, December 9, 2024, and will remain open until Saturday, December 28, with an exception for players on teams who play bowl games after the window closes. According to NCAA data, 2,273 FBS football players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 1,558 (68.5%) undergraduates and 715 (31.5%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 57% reported that they enrolled in another school, 8% withdrew their names from the portal, and 35% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
