Deiondre Porter Arrested: Latest Details, Comments on Former Florida CB

Adam WellsApr 19, 2016

Former Florida Gators defensive back Deiondre Porter was arrested for his connection to an armed robbery case. ย ย 

Per Matt Baker of theย Tampa Bay Times, citing public documents, Porter was arrested at his home by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office after an "out-of-county warrant" was issued stemming from an "armed robbery complaint."

Baker noted that additional information regarding the robbery and warrant were not immediately available.ย 

This continues a downward spiral for Porter, who was a well-regarded prospect coming out of Jefferson High School in Tampa, Florida, two years ago.ย 

Last October, the 20-year-old Porter was indefinitely suspended by the Gators after he was arrested by Gainesville police for allegedly holding a gun to the head of his pregnant girlfriend, per Andy Hutchins ofย AlligatorArmy.com.ย 

According toย Alachua County court records, Porter is facing four felony charges and one misdemeanor from that previous arrest.ย 

Florida head coach Jim McElwain said during a teleconference after Porter was arrested last year, perย John Taylorย of College Football Talk, that Porter is "no longer with the football team." He is not listed on the Gators'ย official roster.ย 

After redshirting two years ago, Porter did appear in two games for the Gators last season and was primarily used on special teams.ย He was ranked as a 3-star prospect inย 247Sports' composite rankingsย before committing to the University of Florida in 2014.ย
