Justice Finkley, the 6-foot-2, 255-pound On3 four-star and Texas offer has had a busy summer.

With 30 offers in hand including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, and USC, the rising EDGE prospect from Hewitt-Trussville (Ala.) hit the road in June to see the college sights.

He took an official (6/5) and unofficial visit (7/31) to Alabama, then hit Colorado on June 11th, Michigan on June 18th, and Texas on June 25th for official trips.

After those visits, he dropped a top 3 of Texas, Alabama, and Colorado. Finkley told IT he doesn’t have a commitment day yet, but his social media vibes indicate he might be getting closer.

Texas has done a masterful job of selling the university, academics, and the chance to build something special. With the impending move to the Southeastern Conference, Finkley is even more excited.

“I think Texas is a massive program so it would definitely change the dynamics of the SEC,” said Finkley. “(Academics) comes into my decision a good bit.”

Finkley has been instrumental for Hewitt-Trussville’s success with 146 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries over the last two seasons. He remains in contact with UT’s Bijan Robinson and Ray Thornton, and wants to hang out again if/when he returns to the Forty Acres.

Don’t look at mom for any answers here either. She’s waiting on the Under Armour All-American, just like us.

Finkley is the 190th ranked player in On3’s 2022 Football Player Rankings with a grade of 91.
