Report: Latest Florida suspensions came after teammate implicated Jordan Scarlett to police

Tensions in the Florida locker room are already high after 10 players have been suspended for the season opener against Michigan on Saturday.
However, a report on Wednesday night revealed that the latest two suspensions — those of star RB Jordan Scarlett and WR Rick Wells — may have been due to a tip from a fellow Gator.
According to Zach Aldridge of MyNews13.com, a source said Scarlett and Wells were turned in to police in the case regarding misuse of school funds.
Scarlett will certainly be missed against the Wolverines, as he led the Gators with 889 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in 2016.
The more glaring issue, though, may be locker room chemistry, as it won’t do much to build camaraderie if Wednesday’s report is true.
