West Virginia’s Jarret Doege, a transfer who was Bowling Green’s starting quarterback last season, received a waiver from the NCAA and can play immediately, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
Doege, a junior, completed 62.2 percent of his 389 passes last season for 2,660 yards, with 27 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. He started five games as a freshman in 2017 and all 12 games last season for the Falcons, who went 3-9 and fired coach Mike Jinks in October.
Also fired was Doege’s brother, assistant coach Seth Doege, who played quarterback for Texas Tech from 2009 to ’12.
First-year West Virginia head coach Neal Brown is looking for a replacement for quarterback Will Grier, who was a third-round draft pick of the Carolina Panthers. If it’s not Doege, it likely will be Oklahoma grad transfer Austin Kendall, who also has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Doege entered the transfer portal in May after spring ball and committed to West Virginia about a week later.
