CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA - Linebacker Ahmad Brooks, one of the jewels of Virginia&#39;s best-ever recruiting class in February, will not play for the Cavaliers this season while trying to improve his standardized test scores at prep school, his family said. <br> <br> Brooks, 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, could have enrolled at Virginia as a partial qualifier under NCAA regulations, but decided instead to attend Fork Union Military Academy&#39;s postgraduate program and work on raising his test scores to freshman eligibility levels. <br> <br> Brooks, who lives in Woodbridge, picked Virginia over Virginia Tech, Tennessee and Florida State. He intends to sign with the Cavaliers again next season, said his father, Perry Brooks.
