The father of star Virginia LB Ahmad Brooks said this weekend he expects his son to play for the Cavaliers this coming season. Perry Brooks, a former NFL player, was commenting on an internet report citing unidentified sources that Brooks had been dismissed from the team and would apply to the NFL's supplemental draft this summer. As we reported earlier, the school has denied the reports, however the Richmond Times-Union is reporting that according to their sources, Brooks has unspecified issues that must be resolved if he is to play again at Virginia. According to the rumor, Brooks dismissal stemmed from a recent "off-field incident." Brooks, a 6-4, 260-pound inside linebacker, led Virginia in tackles in both 2003 and 2004 and had been projected as a possible top pick at the 2006 draft, however, injuries marred his junior season and Brooks decided to return to school for his senior season rather than leave school early and enter this year's NFL draft.

Former star Canadian college RB Jesse Lumsden signed with Washington late last month. (Ed note: Turns out Lumsden came to terms with the Redskins during Senior Bowl week when we were in Mobile where his signing wasn’t so big!). Lumsden had signed with Seattle following the 2005 draft where he was passed over, however, after something of a promising start, the 6-2, 220-pound Lumsden was released by the Seahawks in training camp after he missed extensive practice time with an injury. Lumsden went on to finish the season playing with hometown Hamilton of the CFL which had made him a first round pick at the 2005 CFL draft. Lumsden makes four CFL players who haved signed with NFL teams this winter as part of a special agreement between the two leagues. In other moves, Cincinnati signed former Central Florida DE/OLB Rashad Jeanty who played with Edmonton the past couple of season, while Kansas City signed former TCU and Florida A&M QB Casey Printers, the CFL’s player of the year in 2004, and Green Bay signed P Jon Ryan who averaged over 50 yards a punt with Winnipeg last season.
