SAN MARCOS, Texas – After having an outstanding first season as Texas State’s quarterback, T.J. Finley could have decided to declare for the NFL Draft, but instead, he announced on his social media pages he’s coming back for another season.

Finley not only helped his Bobcats get to and then win their first bowl game in program history, but he also put up outstanding stats in the process.

He finished with 3,439 passing yards — the most in Texas State history for a single season — 24 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions in what many thought would be his final season playing college football.

The Bobcats will open the 2024 season by hosting Lamar University on August 31.
