John Porchivina begins his second season at Troy and first as the assistant director of strength and performance after serving as a graduate assistant in 2024.
Porchivina joined the Troy staff following one season at Ohio State, where he served as an intern with the Buckeyes' football program, including implementing a USG system for daily hydration testing.
A member of the Ole Miss football team from 2021 to 2023, Porchivina remained in Oxford following his playing career as an intern in the strength and conditioning department for the Rebels' football program.
Despite receiving a scholarship out of high school to play football at Cal-Berkley, Porchivina delayed the start of his collegiate career by four years to serve in the United States Marine Corps as a machine gunner. Promoted to the rank of Corporal in 2018, Porchivina had previously been awarded the roles of squad leader and team leader.
He received the "Chesty Puller" Award for graduating No. 1 out of 500 Marines from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. The "Chesty Puller" Award is presented to the Marine who has demonstrated the highest potential for future leadership and responsibility in the Marine Corps.
