Lincoln University Athletics

Ralph Porter was the starting quarterback during one of the most successful eras of Blue Tiger football from 1957-60. That includes Lincoln’s 21-0 win over Emporia State in the Mineral Water Bowl that capped off a 1958 season in which LU went 7-1 and was the MWAA Champions. Porter led the Blue Tigers to four-consecutive winning seasons and his teams won 27 games. In 1959, Porter led a rebuilding LU squad to a 7-2-1 record.
