Virginia receiver Jahmal Edrine was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of rape and one count of abduction, and the school said he is no longer enrolled.
Edrine, a transfer from Purdue prior to the 2025 season, was charged after an investigation that began Aug. 25 when a person reported being sexually assaulted the day prior, according to a release by the Albemarle County Police Department.
Virginia released a statement to Wahoos247 acknowledging it was aware of the matter and said Edrine was no longer a student there.
Edrine was Virginia’s second-leading receiver last season, catching 46 passes for 564 yards and a touchdown, and was expected to be one of Virginia’s starting receivers in 2026. He’d caught 63 passes over three seasons at Purdue previously.
Albemarle police said the investigation is ongoing. Edrine is being held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
