Dequan Finn News, Rumors, Updates - Baylor Bears

Impact Finn wasn't able to play Saturday and in his absence, Nate Bennett served as the team's backup quarterback. Finn will look to return to the lineup for next week's matchup versus TCU.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable in Week 9 Finn (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Baylor ahead of its clash with Oklahoma State, per Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune.

Impact Finn may not be able to suit up for the Bears in Week 9, but either way, he's the firm backup to Sawyer Robertson. If Finn isn't available, Nate Bennett figures to be Baylor's top backup at signal caller.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Clear backup on team Finn completed 0 of 0 passes for zero yards during Saturday's 59-35 win over Texas Tech. He also had two rushes for 40 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Finn was the presumptive starter to begin the season, but Sawyer Robertson stepped in after Finn went down with an injury and has won the job based on six weeks of standout results. Finn displayed his dual-threat ability with the few snaps he was given, but it's clear that Robertson is the better option for the Bears moving forward.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed probable Finn (undisclosed) is listed as probable, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune reports.

Impact Finn hasn't played since Week 2, but he's got a good chance to be available this week. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll play, however, as Sawyer Robinson has played solid in his stead. Still, Finn seems likely to get a helmet for the first time since September.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Iowa State Finn (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Iowa State, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Finn is set to spend another week sidelined, meaning Sawyer Robertson will remain under center. Finn's next chance to play will come against Texas Tech on Oct. 19 following the bye week.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting QB for depth chart Finn (undisclosed) is not listed as the Bears' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Iowa State, Foster Nicholas of 247Sports reports.

Impact Even if Finn is healthy by Saturday, Baylor's depth chart not having him as a starter then seemingly assures his role has been demoted in favor of Sawyer Robertson. It is not that Finn played quite so badly, but Robertson's availability and sufficient output has made him a desirable starter in his teammate's absence.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Finn (undisclosed) will not be available for Saturday's tilt versus BYU, Foster Nicholas of 247Sports reports.

Impact Finn will yield a third consecutive start to Sawyer Robertson on Saturday, and it's unclear if he'll reclaim the starting job when he's healthy. Robertson has compiled 364 passing yards and a 3:0 TD:INT ratio while rushing 12 times for 87 yards and a pair of scores in his two-plus games, leading to the controversy.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

DNP at Colorado Finn (undisclosed) did not play during the Bears' 38-31 loss Saturday at Colorado.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Finn not being used Saturday resulted in Sawyer Robertson being the Bears' lone quarterback then. Currently, their next game is scheduled for Sept. 28 against BYU.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Going through warmups Finn (undisclosed) was observed going through pre-game warmups for Saturday's contest against Colorado, Royden Ogeltree of KWTX reports.

Impact Finn had been listed as a co-starter during the week as his status for Saturday's match is still in the air. His participation in warmups bodes well for his chances of playing. Should he be held out, Sawyer Robertson will fill in under center.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as co-starter Finn (undisclosed) is listed as a co-starter for Baylor's game Saturday at Colorado, Zach Smith of The Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Without any ailments, Finn is expected to be Baylor's starting quarterback Saturday. But if they continue until then, the Bears will have Sawyer Robertson as their primary QB.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Saturday Finn won't start against Air Force on Saturday due to some small ailments and is considered day-to-day, Zach Smith of The Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Finn is dealing with some "minor ailments," according to the team, so freshman quarterback Sawyer Robertson will get the nod under center for this Week 3 matchup. Finn struggled badly in Week 2 while completing nine of 21 passes in a 23-12 loss to Utah. His next chance to play will come against Colorado on Sep. 21.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in Week 2 loss Finn completed 9 of 21 passes for 115 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 23-12 loss to Utah. He also had 13 rushes for seven yards.

Impact Finn was unable to get much traction against Utah's oppressive defense. The Utes kept the usual dual-threat in the pocket and limited his access to open space, forcing him to try to win the day through the air. He was unsuccessful, completing only nine passes in the loss. Finn won the starting gig handily, so there's no reason to make a move now, but Baylor may face un uphill battle this season if the offense doesn't improve.

Expected to be named starting QB Finn is expected to be named as Baylor's starting quarterback, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Since enrolling at Baylor, Finn has been competing against Sawyer Robertson to be the team's starting quarterback. The ex-Toledo transfer being named QB1 should not be so surprising, considering what he has done before his college change. While enrolled at Toledo, Finn logged at least 2,500 scrimmage yards and 25 touchdowns each year from 2021 to 2023. Now, the question is whether or not he can continue his statistical success while part of a team expected to play against better competition more often.
