College career

A 5'7" (1.70 m) point guard, Porter was one of the shortest NCAA Division I college basketball players. He was considered one of the top freshmen in the country during the 2006–07 season. He had his best career game against Portland State. Against the Vikings, he scored 38 points, including 10–12 from three-point field goal range. The 10 three-point field goals shattered the single game Oregon record. His 110 made three-point field goals is an Oregon single-season record, and is good enough for the all-time Pac-10 freshman record. After the Ducks won the 2007 Pac-10 tournament against the University of Southern California, he was named the tournament's MVP.
