Finkley has spent the past three seasons with the Longhorns. While on The 40 Acres, Finkley has appeared in 30-plus games where he has had 26 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.

Most of that came when he was a sophomore last fall where Finkley had 14 tackles, a pair of sacks, and the forced fumble. He then had five tackles over six games as a junior this season.

Finkley, a Trussville, Alabama native, played high school football at Hewitt-Trussville. He was the No. 126 overall player there as a four-star prospect in the 2022 cycle. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also rated as a Top-15 edge in the class and the No. 6 player out of the state. That made him the seventh highest-rated signee that year for Texas in a class that finished at No. 5 in On3’s 2022 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Finkley will now be the latest member of the Longhorns to put his name in the portal. As of now, seven players are already officially transferring from the team during this cycle. Six of those are from the defense with three linemen, a corner, a linebacker, and a defensive end.
