11/05/09- Rishaw Johnson, rSo, Mississippi, 6-4, 295 Backup right guard Rishaw Johnson has been suspended for the season, but will remain with the team and focus on his schoolwork, according to coach Houston Nutt. Johnson started four games earlier this season, but has been in and out of the coaching staff’s doghouse since August. Senior Brandon Green has taken the starting job. Nutt has not said what has led to Johnson's suspensions, except to say he has broken team rules. The loss makes UM even more thin on the offensive line. Redshirt freshman A.J. Hawkins is the likely backup at both left and right guard, but he’s battling a dislocated toe and might not play on Saturday. If Hawkins can't play, Nutt was asked who would be the second-team guards. "You don't know them," Nutt said with a grin. In actuality, they are Alex Washington and Zach Brent, but there's no doubt that's deeper on the roster than Nutt would like to go. Obviously, the future doesn't look too bright for Johnson, who's been in trouble all season. The Rebels would love to keep him around, considering he's very strong and almost a certain bet to start next season. But he apparently continues to have discipline problems. - David Brandt, The Clarion-Ledger
