Auburn fans received fascinating news Tuesday when quarterback [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] announced that he would enter the transfer portal as a graduate student.
Finley’s time at Auburn drew mixed reviews, as he passed for 1,258 yards and 12 touchdowns in two seasons at Auburn, where he played in 13 games and made six starts.
The most notable appearance of Finley’s career took place during the 2021 season when Auburn hosted Georgia State at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Down 24-21 with under a minute to go, Auburn called upon Finley to relieve Bo Nix at quarterback. Finley would toss a 10-yard touchdown pass to Shedrick Jackson to steal the lead away from the Panthers. Auburn would go on to win the game, 31-21.
Following Finley’s announcement, Auburn fans flooded Twitter to share their thoughts on the news. Some were grateful for Finley, especially with his role in the Georgia State win. Others, well, weren’t so kind.
