The Florida State Seminoles have made a splash in the transfer portal with the commitment of Western Kentucky University quarterback TJ Finley. The dual-threat standout announced his decision Thursday, adding another layer of depth and talent to the Seminoles’ quarterback room.
Finley, a former LSU and Auburn signal-caller, revitalized his career at WKU this season. Known for his ability to make plays both in the air and on the ground, he accounted for over 3,000 total yards and 28 touchdowns in 2024, showcasing his dynamic skill set. Standing at 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, Finley’s combination of size, athleticism, and experience makes him a significant addition to Florida State’s roster.
The move comes as the Seminoles look to solidify their quarterback position heading into the 2025 season. With the expected departure of current starter Jordan Travis, Finley will likely compete for the starting role alongside Tate Rodemaker and freshman Brock Glenn. His ability to extend plays and thrive in high-pressure situations could give him an edge in Mike Norvell’s fast-paced offense.
Finley expressed his excitement about joining the Seminoles on social media, writing, “Ready to get to work in Tallahassee! Go Noles!” His decision underscores Florida State’s growing appeal as a top destination for talent, following a stellar 2024 campaign that
