Starting CB one of a pair of Rebels unavailable for the spring

Houston Nutt announced Saturday that starting cornerback Marcus Temple will not participate at all in the spring sessions that begin March 28. Temple has been hampered by a sports hernia, the coach said.

Temple has appeared in 37 games during his Rebels career, including 12 starts in 2010.

In addition to Temple, offensive lineman Michael Brown will be a non-participant for the entire spring. Brown has a disc problem in his back.
