He just wants to hang out!
Porco plays college baseball for the Mountaineers. The 6-foot-8, 235-pound right-handed pitcher made nine appearances during the early season with six earned runs and 15 strikeouts in 14.1 innings as a junior thus far into 2025. As you might assume from his stat line, he is more of a back-end bullpen guy who might get called to start in case of an injury or surprise scratch.
With that in mind, Robby Porco is very self-aware. His NIL earnings are capped by his sport, his status within the program and by his following on social media. The most wealthy college baseball players either hit dingers, pump gas as the Friday night ace, or go viral on Instagram and/or TikTok. He does not fit any of those three categories. He is not going to make seven figures like a quarterback and he knows that.
However, Robby Porco is willing to put himself out there to make a buck (or two) through the best NIL deal on the market!
West Virginia uses an online platform called ‘the Mountaineer Exchange‘ to create Name, Image and Likeness opportunities for its athletes. Fans and/or businesses can book the athletes for paid appearances or a collaboration on social media.
For example, outside hitter Cassidy Tanton offers the following services:
- Mini Campaign (1 TikTok + 1 IG story) — $300
- Full Collab (1 TikTok + IG Post + IG Story) — $400
- 1 In Feed Post (Static Post or Reel) — $115
- 1 Story Set (2-3 Slides) — $90
- IG Bundle (Post + Stories) — $175
- TikTok Post (Branded Video) — $200
- Signed Volleyball or Photo — $35
- Signed Apparel (Jersey, Shirt, Hat, Etc.) — $75
- In-Person Signing Event (1-2 Hours) — $200
- Small Group Lesson (3-4 Players, 60-75 Minutes) — $250
Robby Porco has only one offer. He can come chill with whomever, whenever for the low cost of just $1!
I personally think Porco is selling himself short. I think he seems like a pretty cool dude and a great hang. That has to be worth more than $1! Maybe this post will get him the recognition he deserves and we, the people, can help him to increase prices based on a higher demand.
