We are 𝔼𝕃𝕀 𝔽𝕀ℕ𝕃𝔼𝕐 days from kickoff.

The Bulldogs tight end led the team in receptions & receiving yards during an All-League Second Team season in 2025.

Finley was also named to the John Mackey Award & Wuerffel Trophy Watch Lists.

[Overton @overton_news]

New UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje dropped a legendary line after his HISTORIC upset over Illia Topuria.

Joe Rogan pointed out that he was a 6-1 underdog going into the fight.

GAETHJE: “Hey, I’m from America. 250 years ago we were WAY bigger than 6-1 dogs!”

“And look at us thriving now!”

“To all the current, former, and future military service members, thank you so much.”

“Thank you so much to all of the first responders, police officers, firefighters...you guys have no idea how grateful I am...”

“And all glory to God. I prayed so much for this opportunity, to do something legendary.”

“And I know that was absolutely legendary because I cannot even believe it.”

Mic’d up with Eli 🎙️

[Bryan @RealBGauvin23]

LA Tech TE Eli Finley (@Eli_finley1) was someone I highlighted last summer, and once again, his production went up in 2025.

The Heath, Texas native caught 38 passes for 444 yards. Very reliable over the middle, he didn’t score a TD this season, but I still think Finley is one of the better TEs in the country.

I expect his production to take another step forward in 2026.
