Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Finegan is one of the top under-rated safety prospects across the central valley, and is a long and rangy player that can cover the entire back-end and has natural ball skills and high-point abilities while excellent in run support. He is a high IQ kid that baits quarterbacks into poor throws and shows closing speed, proper angles in space and is a very sure tackler in the open field. He should draw plenty of FCS+ interest through his Senior season, and is looking to be another central valley steal in the 2026 class.

Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Finegan checks into our WL rankings and is a very rangy and physical safety that has had a stellar start to his prep career in the central valley. He is a two-way star for Buchanan, and shows fluid hips in space while a natural peddler and can cover the entire back end of the field with long speed, ball skills and tremendous instincts. Offensively, he is a true vertical threat that can get over the top with ease, tracks the ball well with the proper adjustments and can make contested catches look easy. Overall, he is a very smooth athlete that should have a tremendous 2024 season for the Bears and be a name to note in the valley.
