Matt Finnin does not get swept up in the brand name or the logo on the front of the jersey. The juco offensive tackle from the College of Dupage (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) has more than 20 offers with some big BCS programs among them, but Finnin is looking for more than just a top program.
“It’s the relationship I have with the offensive line coach,” Finnin said. “I want to come in and love the next two years.”
Finnin has even turned a few BCS programs away recently. Those programs have come in late, and Finnin has built loyalties elsewhere.
