Porter was suspended indefinitely after a Feb. 22 arrest for driving while intoxicated and driving with a suspended license. Pitt football spokesman E.J. Borghetti confirmed that Porter was suspended from the team for ‘disciplinary reasons,’ but would not confirm anything further. Porter was also arrested May 5, 2008, for a DUI, careless driving, purchasing alcohol as a minor and failing to obey traffic control devices. He was arrested again on Nov. 12 for disorderly conduct. Porter, who turned 21 Wednesday and will be a senior in the fall, had 25 receptions for 357 yards last season. He was expected to be a starter in the fall.
