CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell is one of four football players not enrolled in classes this semester.

The university said in a release Thursday that privacy laws preclude it from commenting any further, but the announcement comes one day after a new semester started at Virginia, suggesting the players are academically ineligible.

That would keep Sewell, a sophomore who started every game as the Cavaliers went 9-4 last season, cornerback Chris Cook, redshirt freshman linebacker Darnell Carter and redshirt freshman Chris Dalton from participating in spring practice.

Chris Cook, a junior, started six times last season before injuring his knee.
