UNH’s walk-on who earned his stripes the hard way
Earley’s profile is more grinder than headline machine: in the 2014 season at New Hampshire, he was a 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior RB who had already won the program’s Todd Walker Teammate Award, signaling the kind of toughness and locker-room value coaches love[1][2]. His on-field sample was tiny—just two games and three carries for seven yards in 2013, with a season-long run of five yards—so the real draw is the walk-on story, persistence, and team-first reputation rather than proven production[1][2].
