ATHENS, Ga. --- Two University of Georgia football players will
incur suspensions due to violation of team rules, according to an
announcement Saturday by Bulldog head coach Mark Richt.
Junior tight end Bruce Figgins has received a six-game suspension
and redshirt sophomore defensive end Justin Houston has been suspended for
two games. A third player, junior wide receiver Tony Wilson, also violated
team rules; however, he is in the process of being medically disqualified
from competition due to slow recovery from a severe ankle injury originally
suffered in the spring of 2008.
“I'm very disappointed in the poor judgment of these players,” said
UGA head coach Mark Richt. “They'll have to pay an appropriate price and
I'm confident they will learn an important lesson from their mistake.”
