Summary
Freshman cornerback Brandon Finney Jr. of Oregon is already making waves, shutting down elite receivers with just one touchdown allowed in 50 targets last season. Rated 91 in EA Sports College Football 27, he’s drawing criticism from former USC All-American Su’a Cravens, who insists Finney deserves a 94 and could be the first CB off the board in next year’s draft. With tough early tests against Boise State, Oklahoma State, and especially USC’s star receiver, Finney’s biggest challenge comes Nov. 7 against Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith — a game that could cement his legacy and push him toward a 99 rating.
