EL PASO -- The Miami Hurricanes announced yet another football player who will be sent home and not allowed to play in the Hyundai Sun Bowl against Washington State on Saturday.

Defensive tackle Courtel Jenkins, a 6-1, 311-pound sophomore, "has been ruled academically ineligible and will not participate in the 2015 Hyundai Sun Bowl,'' UM reported in an email.

"Jenkins will be sent home from the bowl and will not take part in any further bowl activities this week,'' UM said.

Jenkins started seven games this season and played in all 12. He has 29 tackles 1.5 sacks, three tackles-for-loss and a forced fumble this season.

Also sent home on Tuesday: junior Jamal Carter, a hard-hitting, hard-playing safety who violated team rules, according to interim UM coach Larry Scott.

The Hurricanes will face the No. 1 passing offense in the nation in Washington State on Saturday, and need all the help they can get defensively.
