Quarterback TJ Finley has entered the transfer portal for a sixth time and has committed to play football at FCS school Incarnate Word for the 2026 season. The veteran college quarterback was able to get to this point after a special exemption as well as multiple injuries. In 2021, Finley played in nine games for Auburn and started in three - rising from second on the depth chart. This year, the NCAA made an adjustment to reduce the amount of time that the 'transfer portal' can stay open for college football. Meanwhile, players in the College Football Playoff get five days starting after their final game to enter the transfer portal.
