I think Finley was a more-than-serviceable 5th year senior who had a year in the system. He was going to start the entire year if he could stay healthy.
Mike Johnson Jr. was brought in to be a senior body. That's about it.
Don't sell Broughton short. He isn't a big kid (5' 11"), but he made some head-turning plays in the scrimmages I watched. With a year of practice under his belt I think he has a good shot at being the starter in 2026.
We can win some games with Ruggow. But he doesn't have the wow-factor that Broughton brings.
Maybe Beals comes in and sets the world on fire...but I've never seen a true Freshman do that at Akron.
