OU cornerback Jamell Fleming not enrolled, will not participate in spring practices

Senior cornerback Jamell Fleming, who led Oklahoma in interceptions last season, isn’t enrolled at OU and won’t participate in spring drills, coach Bob Stoops announced Friday afternoon in a press release.

Stoops’ only comment was: “We’re hopeful that Jamell can work though the things he’s facing and resume his college career.”

Aaron Colvin, who played a key reserve role and started against Texas when Fleming was sidelined by an ankle injury, is projected to be the starter this spring opposite Demontre Hurst. Colvin also would be the favorite to start next season if Fleming doesn’t return.

A first-time starter, Fleming led the Sooners with five interceptions and was among the national leaders with 14 pass breakups. He was fifth on the team with 71 tackles.
