CHARLOTTESVILLE -- He hasn't played -- and won't play -- this season, but Kevin Ogletree remains an integral part of the University of Virginia football team. Just watch him during games at Scott Stadium.
Unlike some out-of-uniform players, Ogletree doesn't distance him from the rest of the team. The junior from Queens, N.Y., is in perpetual motion on the sideline amid the U.Va. players and coaches. After a Virginia touchdown, it's hard to tell who's more excited: the player who scored or Ogletree.
"I can't be playing right now, so I try to provide whatever little energy boost I can," said Ogletree, Virginia's leading receiver in 2006.
"I'm a pretty animated guy, a pretty happy guy. It's just fun. I get caught up in the moment out there."
