Posted July 27, 201014 yr comment_899337 [b]COLUMBUS, Ohio[/b] — [left]Maurice Clarett, the former Ohio State football player who spent more than three years in prison, is once again a Buckeye, the university announced on Monday. Clarett started classes on Monday, after the university allowed him reentry, an Ohio State spokesman said in a statement released Monday evening. "Maurice Clarett has been granted reentry into The Ohio State University, following a review by the College of Education and Human Ecology," said Jim Lynch, director of media relations for Ohio State.[/left][left] [/left][left]Clarett will attend classes for the second half of OSU's summer quarter. "This is a surreal feeling to be back at Ohio State in such a supportive environment," Clarett said in a statement. "I have looked forward to being back in school and I'm doing my best to fit in with other students. I don't want to be a distraction or nuisance to the football team or to students on campus." Clarett served more than 3 1/2 years in the Toledo Correctional Institution for aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, 10TV News reported. Clarett was the starting tailback on Ohio State's 2002 football team that went undefeated and won the national championship. He never played a game for the Buckeyes after the 2002 season. He was a third-round draft choice by the Denver Broncos in 2005 but never saw action in a regular-season game. On Jan. 1, 2006, Clarett was charged with aggravated robbery after police said he flashed a gun at people outside a bar and robbed them of a cell phone. Then, on Aug. 9, Clarett was arrested after a chase when police said that they tried to stop him for a traffic violation.
