Offensive lineman Nolan Kelleher 's career at Florida is over due to back issues he dealt with when he arrived at Florida, a UF spokesman confirmed to Inside the Gators on Tuesday.

The initial plan back in May was for Kelleher to redshirt following back surgery. In August, per the spokesman, a decision had already been reached about Kelleher's playing future.

Kelleher arrived at Florida as the No. 27 player at his position in his 2014 class and the No. 7 player out of the state of South Carolina.

With the careers of Kelleher and Drew Sarvary (concussion symptoms) cut short because of injury, Florida enters 2015 with not much depth on the offensive line. Max Garcia, Chaz Green and Trenton Brown graduate, while Tyler Moore will declare early for the NFL Draft. D.J. Humphries is still deciding whether he will return to Florida for his senior season or declare for the draft. If Humphries does decide to bolt, Roderick Johnson, Trip Thurman and David Sharpe would be the only three returning offensive linemen from 2014's rotation.
