On the same day that the players were supposed to report to camp, the quarterback was arrested and charged with attempting to flee police.
Police officials say that Finley was released from the Alabama jail. The quarterback was back in the football complex on Thursday, according to the coach. Friday is the opening day of practice for the tigers.
The man was here. He's going to practice tomorrow. Harsin said that they were aware of what was happening.
The arrest was the result of several traffic violations made by Finley. Police say that Finley was not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle and that he fled from officers trying to make a traffic stop. The pursuit was stopped as a matter of safety.
Davis Whittelsey said the arrest was a misunderstanding.
Whittelsey said the charges were the result of traffic violations and amisunderstanding. All traffic citations are dealt with in Municipal Court in the city of auburn. T.J. turned himself in after learning of the charges and was released on his own recognizance.
The quarterback job was up for grabs. Bo was injured and he started in three games. He began his career at LSU before moving to auburn.
In the spring, he was the first team quarterback. Harsin has yet to announce a starter for the upcoming season, as Oregon transfer Robby Ashford, Texas A&M transfer Zach Calzada and freshman Holden Geriner are also in the running.
The first college football player to ink a name, image and likeness deal with an online retail giant was Finley.
