Report: T.J. Finley expected to enter transfer portal ‘soon’

T.J. Finley has spent two years at Auburn after transferring from LSU.

Auburn has already lost several players to the transfer portal and could be losing a former starter according to a report by Jeffrey Lee of On3.

[autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] was Auburn’s starting quarterback at the beginning of the season but lost his job to Robby Ashford and is apparently unhappy according to Lee’s report.

Finley started Auburn’s first three games and he completed 33 of 53 passes for 431 yards and one touchdown. He has also thrown four interceptions and lost two fumbles. A shoulder injury forced him to miss time and Ashford was able to cement himself as the starting quarterback.

In addition to losing his job, Finley’s mother is unhappy with the fact that the payers and their parents found out about Auburn firing [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] through the media and were not told directly. She also believes that she and the rest of the parents need to be informed of how the coaching search is going, according to Lee’s sources.

Clearly, that will not happen and Lee’s sources expect Finley to enter the transfer portal “soon.”

One possible destination is Southeastern Louisiana, where his brother Kody plays wide receiver.
