Highly touted incoming safety Dee Finley has not academically qualified and will not play football this fall for the Gators, according to several newspapers and online publications.
Finley will reportedly attend the Milford Academy in New York.
Finley, along with Will Hill, was expected to receive playing time right away and-potentially-maybe even become a starter alongside Major Wright.
If he gets his grades together, Finley should be in Gainesville by 2009.
