Florida Gator football signee Dee Finley did not qualify academically to play football for the gators this season and will spend the fall at Milford Academy in Connecticut, according to several Internet media reports.
Finley, a highly sought after safety out of Auburn High in Alabama, becomes the second signee in Coach Urban Meyer's four recruiting classes to fall short grade-wise. Mainland High tight end Brian Ellis, a 2005 signee, was the other to not make grades.  He chose Florida over Auburn, and Alabama.
