B.J. Finney is one of the great offensive linemen to go through Kansas State's football program. He started his career as a walk-on with a bang earning 2011 Freshman All-American.

He then went on to be on the All-Big 12 team four times, was a 2014 All-American, and 2014 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. Finney led the team in the least amount of pressure allowed to the quarterback.

Finney was picked up as an undrafted free agent immediately after the 2015 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. After moving around to a few teams, Finney chose to retried from the sport in 2022.
