Colin Porter, a fifth-year guard at Marquette, faces uncertainty regarding his eligibility for the upcoming 2026-27 season. After four years at Liberty University, Porter graduated but is affected by new NCAA rules that do not grant him eligibility for an extra season. He played every game for Liberty, averaging 9.0 points and 3.9 assists throughout his career. Concerns exist about his shooting performance against top competition, as he has struggled inside the arc against ranked opponents. The NCAA's decision has resulted in a lawsuit, suggesting broader implications for college athletes. Marquette's season approaches with the timeline for resolution still unclear.
