Any fella who can get a free ride playing football at 6 different schools must have some “get up and go”…has to be a NCAA record and worth applauding a Louisiana boy for accomplishing.


Yeah he manages to show up when he has to. That seems to be about all he does.

If Finley had good parents, they’d be telling him to get his degree and abandon football.

He is doing long term damage to his career by delaying the inevitable.

Why is he so scared of getting a job?

He will be well educated after all that college.


But think of all the credits he’s undoubtedly lost with each transfer.

Pretty sure what they mean by that is in a lot of games Finley just didn't have much motivation to do much. I think this was well known about him when he came out he had a bit of an attitude and was lazier. You don't think transferring 6 schools kinda proves that point? You could tell he had an entitled attitude while at LSU which is partly why he transferred.

Finley must have 2-3 degrees by now with how long he has been in school.

What kind of advice is this kid getting from his parents? Does he have a father in the house who should be telling him that you have got to earn your job and are not entitled to it?

So what is he considered now? A red shirt senior? Grad transfer?

This has to be a record, right?

He said he was a terrible HS QB that just had an excellent running back and receiver group that made him appear better than he was.


TJ was a tools guy, though.

However, he came along a little too late and his lack of mobility killed his chances.

I've been told he has good parents, but kids don't always listen to their parents.

As long as schools are willing to pay him to play football, why not take the check? I don't blame him. Real job (maybe working for mom in her successful business) will still be there for him.

You obviously know the family or a friend of family….

I don’t see how he gets a college degree after all this jumping around… that won’t happen.

What is the mothers business ??

Is this the new record?


I would have thought, this one had the record:

College:
LSU (2016)
East Mississippi (2017)
Missouri (2018)
Nicholls (2019–2021)
Incarnate Word (2022)

7 years of college!
