Charlie Baker, speaking with reporters at the NCAA Convention, said transfer windows are challenging because they must be built around academic calendars.

Student-athletes can enter their names into the transfer portal during two different periods for the 2024-25 academic year. The first took place in early December and the second in late April.

The former Illinois redshirt freshman punter announced Jan. 10 on social media that he has transferred to Central Michigan in order to utilize his final three years of eligibility. Duley, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound El Paso-Gridley graduate, entered the NCAA transfer portal on Dec. 9.

FBS coaches voted unanimously in favor of replacing the current two portal periods with one 10-day stretch in January.
