Still months away from standing trial on sexual assault charges, Quintez Cephus is officially no longer on the University of Wisconsin football team.

Cephus, who was suspended via UW's student-athlete discipline policy when charges were brought against him in August, wasn't listed on the Badgers' spring practice roster released Wednesday, and a UW official confirmed he's no longer on the team.

The trial for the Badgers' top wideout in 2017 is set to begin July 29 after late-arriving evidence postponed an original February start date.

Cephus caught 30 passes for 501 yards and six touchdowns over just nine games as a sophomore in 2017.

Five other players - outside linebackers Mason Platter and Paul Jackson, defensive end Kraig Howe, inside linebacker Ethan Cesarz and fullback Jake Collinsworth - were also absent from the Badgers' spring roster, and a UW official confirmed they are no longer with the team.

Platter, a scholarship recruit who arrived on campus last summer, left the team for medical reasons.
