“Known for his athletic skills coming out of high school, he considered enrolling at the University of Arizona. UA was the only school to offer him a dual scholarship, hoping to entice him to the university to play both football and basketball. At Diboll High School, Finley was a four-year starter at tight end and played defensive end, wide receiver, safety, punter and kicker. He owns the school records with 316 receptions, 30 touchdown catches and 2,217 receiving yards. He also punted for a 37.9-yard average, kicked off and played an average of 101 snaps per game. He was named District Offensive Player of the Year in football and District MVP in basketball as a sophomore, averaging 24 points and 20 rebounds as a senior for the hoops squad. ”

Oh boy! This guy sounds like he has Antonio Gates-like talent, very natural athlete. a good gamble. If a guy like this has any sort of internal motivation, some pride, he can become dominant.
