Baylor’s record-setting back with legit burst and Big 12 production
Jay Finley is a Baylor running back name worth knowing because, in the 2010 season, he rushed for 1,218 yards and set Baylor’s single-season rushing record while averaging 6.3 yards per carry. He finished his Baylor career with 2,660 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns, and his game stood out for efficiency, tackle-breaking pop, and enough receiving ability to keep defenses honest. A lower-body injury limited him at one point in college, but when healthy he was a productive, tough runner who would fit teams looking for a proven volume back with explosive traits.
