Brandon Finney Jr. is already a difference-making Oregon DB with elite coverage numbers
Finney emerged in 2025 as one of Oregon’s most impactful young defenders, starting all 15 games and earning Freshman All-American and second-team All-Big Ten honors after posting 42 tackles, 3 interceptions, 8 pass breakups, 3.0 tackles for loss, a sack, and 2 forced fumbles. His calling card is sticky man coverage and playmaking: PFF ranked him among the nation’s top returning corners, and reports noted a 42.3 passer rating allowed and an 18.2% completion rate allowed in targeted coverage. He looks like a high-upside fit for teams that value length, ball skills, and competitive press coverage.
