Quarterback Dequan Finn To Seek Medical Hardship Waiver
Baylor quarterback Dequan Finn (6Sr.) will seek a medical hardship waiver for the 2024 season and look to play a final year of collegiate football, according to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz. SicEm365 expects Finn to enter the transfer portal if he were to receive the waiver.
Finn, who was set to be Baylor’s starting quarterback this season after transferring from Toledo, was injured against No. 11 Utah on Sept. 7. Sawyer Robertson (RJr.) started in his place against Air Force on Sept. 14 and flourished as the Bears’ QB1.
Robertson threw for over 2,500 yards and 26 touchdowns this fall, while Finn played in just three games and did not suit up for the final month of the season after briefly returning from injury in Baylor’s 59-35 win over Texas Tech on Oct. 19.
Across those three contests, Finn threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 66 yards and two touchdowns.
“Dequan is still trying to work through his injury and get it properly diagnosed and [find] what’s next for him in his career,” head coach Dave Aranda said on Nov. 25. “It’s been one-to-two-to-three, or however many weeks we’re into it, so I feel for him, and I’m hopeful we can get some type of closure here soon.”
