Dequan Finn

Finn joins the RedHawks for his fifth collegiate season, and he's taken an interesting route to the starting spot for the squad. The 6-foot-2 quarterback started out his FBS career at Toledo, logging three seasons as the starter and getting 2023 MAC MVP honors. He then transferred to Baylor ahead of the 2024 season, starting the first three games of the season and throwing for 307 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions and rushing for two touchdowns before going down with an undisclosed season-ending injury. He'll now rejoin the MAC conference with Miami-Ohio as the starter of the conference runner-ups. The veteran has shown that he can succeed well in this conference, and he has all the skills to do so. He'll just have to make it click with an unproven squad that is coming off a heater of a season. Finn is more than capable as a passer and rusher; he'll just have to retune his abilities to the MAC style of play after two seasons in the Big 12 at Baylor, but there's a ton of upside to his game, evidenced by his three massive seasons during his time at Toledo.
