Jeremiah Earby
Boise State defensive back Jeremiah Earby has entered the Transfer Portal, On3's Pete Nakosreports. Earby, who served as a key member of Boise State's defense for the past two seasons, has not played in a game this year. The East Palo Alto native, who is a member of the Class of 2022, received a TRO from the 22nd Circuit Court in Washtenaw, MI to play one last season of college football.
Earby's career began at Cal , where he played from 2022-23. There, he appeared in 24 games and recorded 62 tackles, 0.5 TFL, two interceptions, and 17 pass deflections.

He then spent the past two seasons at Boise State, where he emerged as a key contributor on the Broncos' College Football Playoff team. In that span, he racked up 94 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 0.5 sack, five interceptions, and 16 pass deflections. He was named to the All-Mountain West Second Team last season.
Eligibility rollercoaster surrounding Class of 2022 members continues to twist and turn
While it doesn't affect Earby, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed an executive order on Tuesday that would grant athletes in that state another year of eligibility if they've exhausted their NCAA eligibility. The order would also prohibit Ohio colleges from enforcing eligibility restrictions in place by the NCAA.

Under terms of the order, athletes from the class of 2022 would be able to participate during the 2026-27 academic year. The class was not "grandfathered" under the NCAA's age-based, five-year eligibility model, which it implemented over the summer, and a number of lawsuits followed.
In the order, DeWine wrote that "principles of fairness require the Class of 2022 student-athletes be given a fifth year to compete, just like the classes that came before and after them, and against whom they competed throughout their college careers."
Charlie Baker pushes back against DeWine's executive order
In a statement Tuesday night, NCAA president Charlie Bakerargued DeWine doesn't have jurisdiction over the NCAA's eligibility rules. He also called for passage of the Protect College Sports Actto help settle the landscape.

"Today, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued an Executive Order attempting to give Ohio institutions the option to permit certain former student-athletes from the Class of 2022 to participate during the 2026-27 academic year, notwithstanding NCAA eligibility rules," Baker said, in part .
"The Governor of Ohio cannot legislate NCAA eligibility rules. One elected official seeking to make their own rules for their own schools' advantage is a terrible way to run athletic competitions and precisely why Congress muss pass the PCSA as soon as possible. … Eligibility rules established through the Association's governance process have been and will continue to be applied consistently across the membership by the NCAA including in the state of Ohio."
