Walk-on lineman arrested, suspended

Walk-on offensive lineman Josh Parrish has been suspended indefinitely after being arrested for an alcohol-related offense, according to Mark Richt earlier today.

Parrish, 19, was charged with underage possession and possession of false identification, according to Athens-Clarke County Police.

Richt has to be fuming at this point. This is the fourth player to break the law this spring. He already dismissed quarterback Zach Mettenberger, linebacker Montez Robinson and punter Trent Dittmer this season, and there's no doubt Parrish is gone after this incident.

However, there's not a whole lot more Richt can do. As long as players are having run-ins with the law, they're going to be kicked off the team. If that's not enough incentive to stay out of trouble, then they shouldn't have been on the team in the first place.
