Jesuit administration will withhold senior linebacker Anthony Harrell from playing in the season opener Friday against Lakeland Kathleen, the school announced Thursday.

In a statement released by the school, Jesuit administration explained “the decision to withhold is based on a rule involving transfer students for which the Athletic Department awaits clarification from the Florida High School Athletic Association.”

When contacted Wednesday by the Tribune, FHSAA spokesperson Seth Polansky said there was no open investigation involving Jesuit’s football program.

Harrell transferred to Jesuit from Freedom during the summer. His father, James Harrell, accepted Hthe head coaching position at Jesuit this spring after one season as Freedom’s head football coach. When reached via text, James Harrell declined comment.
