Colorado State football coach Jim McElwain confirmed via Twitter on Wednesday that former CSU star and four-time NFL Pro Bowl selection Joey Porter will be joining the Rams program, as first reported by the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
Porter, a CSU linebacker from 1995-98, will be an unpaid undergraduate student assistant, according to the Coloradoan. He has returned to school to complete requirements for a bachelor's degree.
"Joey back wearing green and gold," McElwain said on Twitter. "Shows you what type of man he is for coming back to complete his degree. GREAT time to be a RAM!"
At CSU, Porter recorded 14 sacks as a senior in 1998 and was drafted in the third round the following spring by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He earned a Super Bowl ring with the Steelers in 2006, his final year with the team.
Porter played 13 NFL seasons, completing his career with the Arizona Cardinals (2010-11).
For Colorado State, he earned first-team all-conference honors in 1998 and was named third-team All-American.
