Florida Gators freshman quarterback Treon Harris had the sexual battery complaint withdrawn against him on Friday afternoon and roughly 90 minutes later had his suspension lifted as well
Treon Harris’s indefinite suspension from the University of Florida lasted less than one week after a sexual battery complaint against the Gators freshman quarterback had been dropped and now his suspension has been lifted and he can resume on-campus activities, including rejoining the football team.
Harris’ attorney Huntley Johnson said via Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel, “He is a UF student again. I couldn’t be happier. the university did the right thing.”
Treon Harris' attorneys: Harris has been informed he "is no longer banned from campus and are permitted to resume UF activities."

Harris had only been permitted to take his online classes in the wake of the suspension and was barred from practice and classes on campus as the investigation went on, but with the complaint dropped and his suspension lifted, will Harris play against the LSU Tigers on Saturday?

He will be eligible to play if head coach Will Muschamp needs him, but after missing a week of practice and meetings it would be unlikely that he sees action on Saturday, but that would be the coaches call and a formal yes or no could come later in the day.
Earlier in the week, Muschamp named Jeff Driskel as the team’s starting quarterback for their SEC crossover game against LSU after Harris relieved Driskel in last week’s game against the Tennessee Volunteers when he led the Gators to two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to overcome a 9-0 deficit and escape with a 10-9 win to improve to 3-1 on the season.
