Cobb Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Ohio State University says former football star Maurice Clarett has been granted re-entry to pursue his degree after he spent more than three years in prison. Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch says in a statement that Clarett started classes on Monday after he was readmitted by the College of Education and Human Ecology, where he was originally enrolled. Clarett says in a statement that it is a ''surreal feeling to be back at Ohio State'' and that he doesn't want to be a ''distraction or nuisance'' to the football team or other students. Clarett led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national championship in his only college season. He pleaded guilty in 2006 to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon and served 3-1/2 years in a Toledo prison, where he took college-credit courses.Nice to see him getting his life in order.
