REPORT: FLORIDA SUSPENDS SEVEN FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Florida has suspended troubled receiver Antonio Callaway and six others for its season opener against Michigan. A person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press the players were suspended for misusing schoolissued funds. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity Sunday because Florida did not release details of the suspensions. Callaway, defensive end
Keivonnis Davis, defensive lineman Richerd Desir-Jones, linebacker James Houston, linebacker Ventrell Miller, defensive lineman Jordan Smith and offensive tackle Kadeem
Telfort won’t be allowed to play Sept. 2 against the Wolverines in Arlington, Texas. Coach Jim
McElwain said in a statement: “We have a small group of players that have made some choices that are extremely disappointing. Action has been taken: They have missed some practice and will miss the Michigan game. We will use this as a learning opportunity and we will have some players step up as we move forward.” According to the South Florida Sun
Sentinel, Callaway, the only starter among the group, was cited for marijuana possession May 13.
