Hope he can improve his life. This is America, and in America if you work hard you can succeed.

Such a nice young man! My bet is he will be back in jail inside a year. Any takers??

There are thousands of REAL students who get turned down for admission to Ohio State each year. Why are they letting this moron and felon take one of those spots?

Kidding aside, he’s not going to the AFL. The AFL has no place for a true RB, and he’s just not big enough to be an AFL fullback (I think the average for an AFL FB this year was in the 280-290 range). The CFL would be tough because of work visa issues in Canada (remember, he’s a felon)…the UFL could work, though.
If he really wanted to play, there are also a myriad of indoor leagues where the rules are different such that you can run the ball, but I doubt he’s going to do something like that – you never know, though.

He can change his name to Maurice Vick and he’ll be back in the NFL tomorrow.

Good for Maurice. I hope he stays on the right path and is able to turn his life around. So far it seems he’s made the best possible choice he could have made and I hope it works out for him.

I can’t help but think that Clarett is attending the wrong school now as a student. Getting out of Columbus and totally away from the High Street night life would be a great idea.
You can obviously still get in trouble at Bowling Green, Kent State, Wright State and Ohio U, but it’s also a lot easier to steer clear of it at those schools as well.
Hope the guy makes well this time around. But I’d like his chances more if he were at another school.

he is lucky to have an oppurtunity to get higher education and should be greatful.

Sorry, I happen to think that if Vick and a few other clowns can keep a career going in the NFL after some of the crap they pulled, why doesn’t Maurice get another shot?

I hope he knows that the professors aren’t going to be strong armed by the athletic director to push him through classes now. He is actually going to have to work and pay for it. I’m suprised that a respected University would allow a convicted fellon to enroll. He should transfer to the U, I hear they give out full rides to convicts.

I thought some guys were out for his head, at least the ones that fronted him all that cash that he could never pay back.. well at least he’s alive still. Best of luck.

Hopefully he will turn it around and be an example the NFL can use.

If he’s truly reformed, and obtains his degree, that would be a great story. Best of luck to him in the future.

Too bad he couldn’t keep it together… that guy was a great running back.

His only chance to play professional football is in cities like Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton , Saskatchewan, etc

I don’t know if he’s going to finish school, his history would indicate that he won’t, but I give credit to anyone making an attempt.
I wish him the best in becoming an Ohio State graduate and a contributing member of society. If he turns this around, he can be a great spokesman for the “Don’t let this happen to you” crowd. The kid has a story, a very unique one, and if he could help save a few kids from the same mistake, then it might help him redeem himself.

I’ll bet that going back to Ohio State is like coming back from the Twilight Zone. I mean, going to class, doing the work and not being some BMOC- that must feel really strange.

Good for him. I hope he gets his life together and realizes that he is getting his 2nd chance and disassociates himself from all the ‘friends’ he had in the past (which, now that he is broke and not in line for NFL stardom, shouldn’t be hard).

Good luck Maurice!
Now can some one give FloriosHairspray a second chance at life?

If his head really IS on straight, there’s always the UFL, CFL, AFL, etc…

The NFL should have him be a guest speaker for the Rookie Symposium.

At least he’s still got that golf tournament trophy named after him, which is nice!
