Bobby Portis (born February 10, 1995) is an American basketball player who recently closed his college career at the University of Arkansas. Portis, a 6'11" power forward from Little Rock, Arkansas, was considered one of the top players in college basketball in the 2014–15 season and a likely first-round pick in the 2015 NBA draft.
Portis played high school basketball at Hall High School in Little Rock. He was a highly-decorated prep player there, earning McDonald's and Parade All-American status and was named Mr. Basketball of Arkansas in 2013. Upon committing to Arkansas, Portis became the first in-state McDonald's All-American to sign with the Razorbacks since Corliss Williamson in 1992 and was considered a key recruit for coach Mike Anderson's rebuild of the program.
As a freshman, Portis averaged 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. He was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman team and second-team All-SEC.
In his sophomore season, Portis was named to the preseason All-SEC team and led the Razorbacks to a top 25 ranking. He was named one of 20 finalists for the John R. Wooden Award for national college player of the year, one of only two players from the SEC.
On March 10, 2015, Portis was selected as the SEC Player of the Year by the league's coaches. This marks the first time an Arkansas Razorback was selected since Corliss Williamson won the award back-to-back during the 1993–94 and 1994–95 seasons.
