Virginia wide receiver Jahmal Edrine is no longer enrolled at the university and has been removed from the program’s roster after being arrested and charged with rape and abduction, school officials confirmed in a statement Friday.

Edrine, 22, was taken into custody Thursday following a five-month investigation by the Albemarle County Police Department. Police said the case was opened on Aug. 25, one day after a report of a sexual assault. An Albemarle County grand jury returned indictments Monday on one count of rape and one count of abduction.

Police said Edrine is being held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

In a statement provided to Wahoos247, university associate vice president and chief communications officer Brian Coy said Edrine is no longer a student and that the school will cooperate with investigators.

“The university is aware of this matter,” Coy said in the statement. “While the university is prohibited by federal student privacy law from commenting on specific cases, we can confirm that this individual is not currently enrolled at the University. Albemarle County Police are continuing their investigation into this matter and the university will cooperate fully with that investigation.”

It remains unclear when Virginia officials first learned Edrine was under investigation. Police did not address that timeline publicly, and the department deferred questions to the university.

Edrine was Virginia’s second-leading receiver last season, catching 46 passes for 564 yards and a touchdown after transferring from Purdue. He began his college career at Florida Atlantic and was expected to be part of the Cavaliers’ receiving corps again this fall.
