Early years

Farley attended Maiden High School in Maiden, North Carolina. He played quarterback in high school. As a senior he passed for 1,776 yards with 21 touchdowns and rushed for 2,574 yards with 37 rushing touchdowns. For his career he had 10,425 total yards and 124 touchdowns.[1] He committed to Virginia Tech to play college football.[2]

College career

Farley originally intended to be a wide receiver his freshman year at Virginia Tech in 2017, but missed the season due to a knee injury.[3] Returning from the injury in 2018, he was converted into a cornerback.[4] He finished the season with 36 tackles, two interceptions and a sack.[5] In 2019, Farley was named a first-team All-ACC after recording 20 tackles, four interceptions and one touchdown.[6][7][8]

Farley returned to Virginia Tech for his redshirt junior season in 2020 rather than enter the 2020 NFL Draft.[9] However in July 2020, Farley became the first high-profile player to skip the 2020 season because of the coronavirus pandemic when he announced that he would instead focus on preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft.[10]
