Shane Porter News, Rumors, Updates - North Texas Mean Green | FOX Sports

Dominant versus UTSA Porter had 13 carries for 193 yards and three touchdowns and gathered in their only target for eight yards during Friday's 48-27 defeat against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact Porter exploded for nearly 200 yards Friday, a massive surprise considering he had just 340 yards through nine games this season. He also scored three touchdowns, runs of 79 yards, 39 yards and 43 yards. It appears he has taken ahold of the Eagles' backfield and his performance on Friday solidified that position. He faces two favorable matchups to end the season, starting Saturday versus East Carolina.

Listed atop Week 9 depth chart Porter is listed as the Mean Green's lead ballcarrier ahead of Saturday's game against Tulane, Evan Pilinsky of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Porter appears in line for another week of lead back duties with Ikaika Ragsdale and Damashja Harris, both of whom missed last week's showdown with Memphis, held off the depth chart this week. The 5-foot-10 junior has been effective across UNT's last two contests, totaling 22 carries for 145 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Porter will look to continue his efficiency on the ground against Tulane this weekend.

Leads backfield again vs Memphis Porter posted 13 rushes for 75 yards and one touchdown and caught 1 of 2 targets for seven yards during Saturday's 52-44 defeat to Memphis.

Impact With both Ikaika Ragsdale (undisclosed) and Damashja Harris (undisclosed) out Saturday, Porter led the Eagles' backfield and put together a productive performance. He ran for over 70 yards for the third time in his last four games and scored his second touchdown of the season, a 10-yard run in the first quarter. It's currently unclear where he will fit in the backfield when and if Ragsdale and Harris return, but he has certainly made the most of his opportunity without them in the lineup.

Leads rushing attack Saturday Porter caught all two targets for two yards during Saturday's 44-17 victory against Wyoming.

Impact With the Mean Green in the midst of an injury crisis at running back, Porter, a transfer wide receiver, led the backfield Saturday. He led the team with 120 yards on a team-high 13 carries, following up his decent performance last week where he scored a touchdown on the ground. His outing could have been a lot better too, but Makenzie McGill scored three touchdowns on just six carries. Although there is lots of uncertainty in the North Texas backfield moving forward, Porter appears to be the current starter with McGill and Kiefer Sibley rotating in.
