Former Auburn standout who brought recruiting pedigree but never became a major defensive piece at Florida
Finley arrived at Florida with real pedigree — a USA Today second-team All-American and Under Armour All-American Game participant — but his Gators impact was mostly on special teams and as a depth linebacker, with 14 appearances and eight career tackles before his Florida career ended after suspension and departure. The main differentiator is his early recruiting profile and athletic background, not on-field production at UF, so he would have been a gamble for a team looking for immediate linebacker play rather than upside depth.
