Former LSU quarterback TJ Finley announced Monday that he is transferring to Auburn.

Finley, a former four-star prospect from Ponchatoula, Louisiana, was a signee in LSU's 2020 class.

He started in five games as a true freshman last season after starting quarterback Myles Brennan suffered a season-ending injury in Week 3. Finley went 2-3 in those games with wins against South Carolina and Arkansas and losses to Auburn, No. 5 Texas A&M, and No. 1 Alabama.

Wish he hadn't stayed in the SEC, but Oh well. Guess we'll get to see our 1st string DBs pick him off instead of 2nd or 3rd string.

Did you see our dbs last year?!

rob62•35 months

Enjuhnear, did you see TJ last year and in the Spring Game? LOL.

Spelt it rong•35 months

Enjuhnear doesn't seem to understand that we're in a different scheme this year with a proper offseason to learn it, or that we have likely the best starting corners in the country.

Yea but whatever happened to the rule or practice of not allowing your players to transfer inside the conference much less in the same division? I thought that a school can except a players desire to transfer but put limits within reason, where they cannot go.

tigerMike•35 months

read some NCAA news. anything about transfers written in the past 18 months will suffice.

Robber DeNiro•35 months

I agree, I don't care about what they changed. Should never be able to transfer in the same conference but now they let it happen in the divisions.

$100 says that when they come to town 10/2, TJ is the starter. Hate to play against him, but that is the new portal world we live in.

rob62•35 months

I can only hope that TJ "turnover machine" Finley plays vs. LSU this year.

ccomeaux•35 months

Right, no way the Jr 3 yr starter will be taking the snaps

CanebreakCajun•35 months

@ccomeaux new coach and auburn people cannot stand Nix.

Grats TJ. Definitely a step down, but still a great place to go and prep for the NFL, vs taking the easy way out and going to a school like Middle Tenn State.

atltiger6487•35 months

this is so wrong. I'd argue that a guy has a better chance of prepping for the NFL by, you know, actually playing. If he rides the bench at Auburn, it doesn't do him a damn bit of good. Go to a smaller school, start immediately, and see what you have. If it's good, you'll get noticed.

IMJ127•35 months

Congrats TJ!. Ball out young man.

LSUrme•35 months

Interesting move. He'll be the 6th QB on the Auburn roster. Good luck to him, except when he plays us.

homeless1•35 months

Just like joe burrow at ohio state,come out the closet

Shiftyplus1•35 months

Best of luck. With that being said, TJ can now go frick himself. I hope everyone will respect my decision.

3PieceSpicy•35 months

Always find it weird when grown men get worked up to the point of telling a 20 year old to go frick himself lol. If you are between 18-22, I guess it’s fine, but any older and that’s a bit immature my friend.

Shiftyplus1•35 months

Get over yourself Mary.

BayouTiga•35 months

Bye biznatch

nol1wph•35 months

Good luck. Just a tough situation for him at LSU. Got caught up in a numbers game. Just 1 football.

BabyTac•35 months

If you ain’t Tigah, you Tigah bait!!!!!!

Da #1 Stunna•35 months

Everyone looks great at practice until the games start and the QB can now get hit. TJ is a talent, but the rush forces him into bad decisions. I don't see him as a starting SEC QB. Maybe he will fill in at times for an injured starter, but I don't see him securing the job as the top guy. I am pulling for him, but I do not think this was a move that will help him in his development. The coach is on the hot seat and the hook will be swift for whoever is under center. Good luck

blizzle•35 months

first year head coach Bryan Harsin is on the hot seat?

atltiger6487•35 months

Auburn fired Gus last year. They've got a new head coach.

Cherry Cheesecake•35 months

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

rob62•35 months

LSU is 10-4 in the last 14 games with Auburn. If anything TJ will help the LSU "W" column vs Aubie.

cheeto225•35 months

How did he "help" LSU win against AU? Oh, he didn't...he was one of those losses.

drexyl•35 months

I still don’t like his haircut. That’s not a winner’s haircut.

muddbone•35 months

Congratulations welcome to America

Robber DeNiro•35 months

Hi Cowherd!

Geaux Guy•35 months

Good for him. Go get em in the Iron Bowl.

Mike da Tigah•35 months

Best wishes to TJ, but not against LSU. He’s now officially become tiger bait. You are on the radar now.

HarveyTunnel•35 months

As always, I am hoping we blow out War Eagle. But, best to TJ and his family.

rob62•35 months

Nope. TJ Finley is now Tiger Bait.

DVinBR•35 months

judging by his spring performance he'll still be throwing to LSU players

CajunBullet•35 months

Good luck to the young man....except when he plays the real "Tigers"! He'll get his arse kicked! Geaux Tigers!

rob62•35 months

His appearance with the Hat that doesn't fit and his hair is special. Sorry if some of you don't agree but it looks unique.

BassMan63•35 months

Looks stupid

Jwils•35 months

That shite isn't unique. Shirley Temple rocked it decades ago!

TigahJay•35 months

Tiger bait
