Yellow Jackets head coach Paul Johnson told Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Harrell's suspension stemmed from a violation of team rules.
Harrell graduated from Georgia Tech in the spring, allowing him to transfer and be immediately eligible to play for the Gators. Last year, he recorded 19 tackles in 13 games, playing mostly on special teams.
