T.J. Finley named Auburn Tigers' starting QB

T.J. Finley has won Auburn's starting quarterback job.

The Tigers open the 2022 season on Saturday against Mercer.

The 6-foot-7, 250-pound Finley had been competing this preseason with Oregon transfer Robby Ashford and Texas A&M transfer Zach Calzada for the starting job after Bo Nix transferred to Oregon this offseason. Finley started the final three games for Auburn last season after Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury and came off the bench in the second half in Week 4 to rally Auburn past Georgia State for a 34-24 victory.
