Ex-Warren Central star Finch leaving IU

When Jerimy Finch transferred from the University of Florida to Indiana following his freshman season, those around the IU football program believed they had inherited a game-changing player.
Two disappointing seasons later, IU announced Friday that Finch will not be returning for his senior season.
No reasons were given in a short, two-paragraph news release.
Coming out of Warren Central High School, where his teams won four state championships and he was a two-time all-state selection, Finch was one of the top-rated players in the country.
Rivals.com ranked him as the No. 1 safety in the nation and both rivals and scout.com ranked him as the top player in Indiana in the 2007 class. Now it appears Finch will conclude his eligibility at a Division I-AA school, according to his former high school coach Steve Tutsie.
Tutsie said he spoke with Finch this week and his former player asked him if he could help make some contacts for possible future playing destinations.
"I think he wants to play Division I-AA because he doesn't want to sit out, and I think that would be detrimental to him," Tutsie said. "I think what Jerimy needs to do right now is to get away and maybe play where nobody knows him. I just think he needs to try and get back to doing the kinds of things that made him a great player in high school.''
At Florida, Finch played linebacker before a broken leg sustained early in the season cost him that year. He transferred to IU in the summer of '08 and was moved to safety. He was never able to put things together at safety or at IU. He played a total of 12 games in two years, and was credited with six total tackles. Last season he played seven games and did not make a single tackle.
Finch will likely have two seasons of eligibility remaining. After he plays his senior year this fall, he could appeal to the NCAA for a medical redshirt for his season at Florida. Under NCAA rules, a player cannot make that appeal until his regular eligibility ends.
"I haven't been privy to how he has practiced at IU or anything like that, but I can't believe there are many players with better ball skills than Jerimy,'' Tutsie said. "Everyone is running a spread offense and that means two things for your safeties. They had better be able to cover and they had better be able to hit.
"I just think he's a good middle of the field guy who can still make plays.''
"We thank Jerimy for his contributions to the program and wish him the best of luck in future endeavors,'' IU coach Bill Lynch said in the news release.
