Overview
- Finley finalized a move to Incarnate Word for the 2026 season, with the signing reported by On3 and confirmed across multiple outlets before the January transfer window closes Jan. 16.
- His seven-year path is possible because the NCAA’s 2020 COVID exemption did not count against eligibility and medical hardship waivers covered season-ending injuries in 2022 and 2024.
- The 6-foot-7 quarterback’s previous stops include LSU, Auburn, Texas State, Western Kentucky, Tulane and Georgia State.
- In 2025 at Georgia State he appeared in seven games, throwing for 1,244 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions while managing a shoulder issue.
- His peak production came in 2023 at Texas State with 3,439 passing yards and 24 touchdowns, and he is now joining Incarnate Word, an FCS program based in San Antonio.
