Since T.J. Finley is set to graduate from Auburn, he is granted immediate eligibility to transfer for the second time in his career.
Finley’s decision to transfer comes after a spring in which he competed for the starting job alongside Robby Ashford and Holden Geriner. Ashford took over as Auburn’s starter early last season after a shoulder injury derailed Finley’s campaign, while Geriner redshirted and appeared in just one game as a true freshman last fall.
After A-Day, Finley — speaking to local media for the first time since mid-September — expressed uncertainly about his future at Auburn amid the ongoing quarterback competition. He asserted that he wanted to be Auburn’s starting quarterback and wasn’t afraid of competing for the job. However, he also said he was “not sure” if he would accept a backup role this season and deflected when asked about a potential post-spring transfer, saying that any decisions could hinge on whether Auburn decided to bring in another portal quarterback and further conversations with Freeze about the position and his role. The Tigers have been actively looking for a “no-brainer” quarterback addition on the transfer market, even hosting Nebraska transfer Casey Thompson over the weekend.
Finley won the starting quarterback competition in 2022 with Harsin heading into his second year as the head coach. He threw for one touchdown and three interceptions with 431 yards in three games before getting injured during a loss against Penn State.
