Here’s your chance to feel old. Former Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley’s son has made a college decision. The class of 2026 prep is a four-star receiver out of Aledo, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Unlike his father, Kaydon Finley won’t be playing at the University of Texas, as the younger Finley chose to commit to the University of Notre Dame over both Texas and Texas A&M.

Between Finley and Cristian Driver, the Minnesota receiver who is the son of Donald Driver, Midwest programs are benefiting from the Packers’ pass-catching legacy.

It’s been written about before, mostly in the context of the NBA, but there’s an increasing trend of former professional athletes being the fathers of players who make it to the higher levels in sports. At Notre Dame football alone, the Fighting Irish have recently had Jordan Clark, son of Ryan Clark, and Kennedy Urlacher, son of Brian Urlacher, in the same safety room. There’s also Antonio Gates Jr. running around at receiver for Michigan State, Emmitt Smith’s kid at Texas A&M and former NFL offensive lineman Dylan Raiola raised Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, who looks poised to be a first-round pick one day.

In the last NFL draft alone, we saw Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, and Mason Taylor, son of Jason Taylor, get taken by pro squads. With how efficient the scouting, recruiting and development processes are now with young athletes, it would be a massive upset if this is the last Packers’ son you hear about being a major target for college teams.
