In 2013, Finch played 11 games and started twice as a true freshman for the Temple Owls. In the season finale, he batted down a pass on 3rd down forcing Memphis to punt and then blocked the punt on the following play which Temple recovered in the endzone for a Touchdown.[5]

In the 2014 season, Finch moved to defensive end and played in all 13 games and started in 11 games. In the first defensive play of the first home game against Navy, he forced a fumble that he recovered in the endzone for a touchdown. In the next game against Delaware State, Finch recorded his first career interception, where he returned it 65 yards for a touchdown.

In 2015, Finch’s production declined as the team went with a defensive end rotation strategy. He played in 12 games, and missed one game to nurse a knee injury. In the season opening game at Penn State, he recorded a 26-yard interception return to set up Temple’s game-winning score. Finch finished tied for second in the nation in blocked kicks.[6]

In 2016, knee injuries limited Finch to just four games. He was granted a medical redshirt exception, allowing him to play in the 2017 season.

In the 2017 season, Finch played in all 13 games with 12 starts. He recorded 55 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. His team-leading 8.5 sacks were a single-season career high. He was named to the Second Team All-American Athletic Conference and ECAC First Team All-East.[7]

On March 19, 2018, Finch participated in the Temple ProDay, an event where Temple football players demonstrate their skills to an audience of NFL scouts and coaches. Twenty-two NFL teams attended this event.[8]

Finch was not selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. Despite a body size prototypical for NFL outside linebackers[11], scouting reports indicated Finch lacked strength and technique needed at the professional level. However, the reports states it lacked enough research on Finch due to his 2016 injury. Scouting reports also considered Finch to be a good teammate and a humble leader.[12]

2018 season: Rookie year

Finch signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent on May 11, 2018. The free agent offer by the Titans to Finch was the highest among the 22 undrafted free agents signed that season.[13] On September 1, 2018, Finch secured his place on the Titans’ 53-man roster for the 2018 season, after a strong preseason. He recorded his first career tackle on September 23, 2018 in a 9-6 Titans victory on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars.[14] On September 30, 2018, Finch recorded his first career sack in a 26-23 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Eagles.[15]

Finch finished his rookie year with 27 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.

Personal life

Finch is the youngest of 22 siblings and enjoys playing the piano. His mother, Wendy, died of breast cancer on May 28, 2015. His father, Gregory, died of a heart attack on July 30, 2018, while Finch was participating in his rookie training camp. His father's death occurred just 10 days before Finch’s first professional preseason game. Since Gregory’s death was sudden and heartbreaking, Finch mustered up the courage to comfort his family by playing the piano at his father's funeral. On August 9, 2018, during the third quarter of this preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, Finch recorded his first sack. Immediately after the sack, he pointed to the sky with two fingers as a tribute to both of his parents.[16] He wears a set of dog tags with their names and photo and an inscription that reads "everything is for you."
