NCAA rules allow B to block (or legally contact) an A eligible receiver until A is at a position relative to B where he would no longer be considered a threat to block. In practice, until A is on the same yardline or beyond B, and the ball is not in the air, B can block A. Also, there is no "five yard" limit on where B can block.

Provided that the block described here did not qualify as some form of "contact foul", the block by B is not a foul under NCAA rules.
