When I first got here I had to learn the offense, learn a lot of new people coming from Kentucky and not being from up north, but I definitely took a step forward,” said Porter,[/URL] who redshirted his freshman season with the Wildcats under offensive coordinator Liam Coen, now the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. <- -> “I think just consistency of being able to catch the ball and being able to lower his body, lower his center of gravity and get in and out of breaks because he’s a 6-foot-3, 218-pound guy that can run. And sometimes when you’re that size it’s not easy to just lower your center of gravity and slow your momentum and redirect and gain momentum and accelerate.
