CHARLOTTESVILLE – When Morgan Moses signed a football letter-of-intent with U.Va., it was no secret that the mammoth offensive tackle from Meadowbrook High might not qualify for admission in 2009-10.

Some four months later, Moses, a Parade All-American in 2008, appears unlikely to play for the Cavaliers this season.  The start of summer school is looming for incoming football recruits, and today I found all of the players who signed in February with U.Va. listed in the directory on http://www.virginia.edu, with one exception: Moses.

The recruits listed include Hunter Steward, an offensive lineman from Kellam High in Virginia Beach.  When Steward committed to U.Va., there was some talk that he would delay his enrollment until 2010, but that idea seems to have been scrapped.

In conversations with people who are familiar with Moses’ situation, I was told last week that there’s still a chance he’ll meet NCAA standards for freshman eligiblity.  It’s more likely, though, that Moses will spend a year at a prep school – probably Fork Union Military Academy – before enrolling at Virginia in the summer of 2010.
