The 6’10” big man will now team up with his brother and fellow five-star prospect, Michael Porter Jr. They’ll both play for their father, Michael Porter Sr, who’s an assistant coach at MU.

Head Coach Cuonzo Martin is now out of scholarships to use for this upcoming season, which means the Tigers freshman class is set: Michael Porter Jr., Jontay Porter, Blake Harris, CJ Roberts and Jeremiah Tilmon.

Mizzou will open up the season at home on Friday, November 10 against Iowa State.
