Texas early enrollee Justice Finkley has the makings of a an elite edge rusher. But...
“No one does it better. No one could do it better,” he’d think.
In a sense, it did. It proved what laid inside, a peek into the heart of a star high school athlete who wanted to play in the NFL just as badly as he wanted to perform life-saving neurosurgery. Finkley plans to do both, by the way. Senior defensive lineman Moro Ojomo marveled over the 6-foot-2, 256-pound freshman edge rusher’s raw strength: “He’s a young buck, but powerful. I mean really powerful.”
Eventually, the list shrank to three: Texas, Alabama and Colorado. Finkley committed to Texas on Sept. 9, 2021, four days after the Sarkisian Era opened with a 38-18 win over No. 23 Louisiana-Lafayette. “The relationship is the foundation,” Finkley’s mother said. “So in terms of the season and how it was going, the coaching staff was not shy about, there were some things that that they wanted to improve. They were not ambiguous about the things that they wanted to change. So, we didn’t go in blindly thinking we’re going into a championship .”
At Hewitt-Trussville, Finkley blossomed as a menacing edge rusher who’d push around offensive linemen like they were a bunch of empty Target carts. He accumulated 178 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, eight sacks and three forced fumbles over his final two seasons, earning an a top-10 national ranking among edge rushers from 247Sports and an invite to the 2022 Under Armour All-America Game.
