Out of Chatsworth (California) Sierra Canyon High School, Finney is listed as currently measuring 6-2 and 170 pounds. Finney had been a Class of 2027 prospect, but reclassified to the Class of 2026 in March. On the 247Sports Composite, Finney is rated 4-stars, the No. 7 cornerback, No. 10 player in the state of California and No. 54 prospect overall for 2026.
As one would expect, Finney drew interest from coast to coast. He has picked up offers from 27 programs, including Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee, UCLA, Texas, Washington and Texas A&M. Per Hayes Fawcett of On3, Finney narrowed it down to LSU, USC and Oregon for his big announcement.
With Finney on board, LSU now has 10 verbal commitments in its 2026 recruiting class, which ranks No. 4 nationally on the Composite. Fans can get a preview of what he brings to Baton Rouge by checking out his highlights below, via Hudl:
