Gators lose 4-star commitment to academics
Florida will be without one of its star defensive commitments when national signing day takes place next week.
Savannah four-star defensive back Chaz Sutton told Rivals.com the Gators have rescinded his scholarshp offer because he will not meet Florida's academic requirments.
"There's some different stories running around,'' Sutton told Mark Wheeler, Gatorbait.net editor. "I talked to coach (Greg) Mattison about it. It was kind of crazy. I don't know what is really going to happen yet. What happened at Florida is I was on my visit and on Sunday before I left they said the Admissions people said I wouldn't have a good enough test score to go with my grades until June.
"When I got back to Savannah there was all kinds of commotion. They said they wouldn't have a scholarship for me to sign. They said I should try to go to Hargrave or something."
Florida will not allow a player to sign a letter of intent if he isn't projected to meet the school's academic requirements. Sutton said his grades are close, it's his test score that needs improvement.
He has a visit to South Carolina scheduled this weekend.
