HOUSTON – Houston running back Kyle Porter and defensive end Payton Turner have been named to the National Football Foundation's (NFF) Hampshire Society on Wednesday.
Membership is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college careers.
Porter finished his two-year career at Houston with 1,039 rushing yards and seven touchdowns and was a team captain for the Cougars in 2020. Porter will receive his Master's degree in Supply Management this May.
