Maurice Clarett | Ohio State Highlights 

That Miami and Ohio state game was ridiculously loaded with talent

Man... he was really something special

What’s crazy is till this day it’s crazy for a true freshman to start for any team in college. But Ohio state at its finest he did this.

He was simply a great running back! Everything you want in a RB. He had great vision, patience, balance, incredible strength and a high football IQ. He made his line look better because he helped set up blocks by the way he navigated through the hole. Such a great talent! I'm not an OSU fan, but I watched him every chance I got that season.

Such a memorable season, I witnessed this when I was 18-19 year old (I'm like 10 days older then Maurice) and at the time I really had no idea that like 15 years later it would still be one of the most memorable seasons in Ohio State History. Zeek and Eddie are special as well, but neither of those guys were True Freshman during their runs.... I grew up in Upper Arlington now live in Southern California and I suppose I miss Fall Ball... Go Bucks...

_Thank you God. Best high quality Maurice Clarett highlights I've ever... EVER been able to find. A sincere thank you from a true Buckeye fan and and Maurice is my favorite player. Amazing lol. __#BuckeyesForLife_

If he would've stayed healthy that year (had a stinger in his shoulder over half the season), he would've gotten over 2000 yards. Clarrett and Adrian Peterson are the two best true freshmen running backs I've seen in the last 20 years of College Football

As a Michigan fan I loved watching Clarett play. Him and Peterson were the best true freshman I have ever seen. God GIFTED

As a Miami fan I really love Clarett, Shame he could been a beast in the pros

How was so special! 2nd best true freshman I ever seen behind Adrain Peterson. I wish we could have seen him as a Buckeye for 3 years.

I was kid during all this, I just moved from Ohio back to Georgia where I was born after 6 years there, I grew up with this team dieing this season and it solidified me as a Buckeye fan through and through I love this team and I miss OHIO.

That strip after the int. was huge what an amazing kid!!

Had to come here after the Vlad interview. Glad I did! 🤯

The way he lowered his shoulder the man was just a freight train! The reason I am a buckeye fan!

Maurice Clarett made one of the greatest plays in The Ohio State football history. He made a true football play he didn't tackle the man he got the ball back. He was instrumental in The Ohio State getting back to their National Championship ways.

Back in day when football was enjoyable

clarett, he was a difference maker in any game

Have ever seen a better runner of the football at such a young stage...film sessions must've been jaw dropping....HIS PLANT, PATIENCE n GO UN MATCHED...

The only other thing more iconic during Tressel's tenure was his sweater vest. Clarrett was amazing!

the non padded chin strap turf toe era raw rugged the last generation before the newer gen of football. lots of memories was in middle school when clarett was buzzing.

imagine what could have been

Ridiculous! A beast!

Legend

MoC is still one of my favorite Buckeyes. Yeh he had his problems but he was a stud on the field. Smart player.

We needed him in the NFL

Vlad brought me here

Reese was the best HS RB I’ve seen in person. Fantastic vision and instinct

He was a monster in college but couldn’t stay out of trouble and had terrible combine. He never recovered.

I enjoy watching RB majesty

He only played in 11 out of 14 games, it was found out in court, that he never attended 1 class at Ohio State and Professors were told to pass him anyways, he only ran a 4.78 forty at the NFL combine, but he had an incredible offensive line to run behind, he always go caught later down field

God he was good. He had it all.

Could you imagine Clarrett as a Junior had he developed each year!? Just looking back, he was much ahead of his time. Could you imagine if Mickey Marotti got ahold of him! Could you imagine his Junior year under Mickey!! What a thought!

The Sean Taylor appearance was great.

One of the BEST Buckeyes and thats saying a whole bunch!

i met this guy he was probably the nicest guy ive ever met he told me about pursuing football and how size cant be taught

It’s the combination of size (STRENGTH) and speed that made him so good. I’m SO MAD that he messed up his NFL career… 😡

Beast

It's a shame things turned out the way they did..this kid was on his way to a great college career and who knows after that

So sad he did not reach his full potential he was a beast!

He was the truth should have won the Heisman freshman year

Maurice could have been one of the greatest. The Bucks would not have won the title without him. Too bad he followed the bad advice and made wrong decisions.

Absolutely hated everything Ohio St ever since Clarett. He was too damn good. Just a monster

Maurice Clarett was great... to me he was a mixture of Jerome Bettis and Marshall Faulk...he could pound it out in the trenches & break tackles but also can catch out of the backfield and agile enough to make moves on defenders to get more yards and score 6...dude was the shit...im happy that he made the choice to bounce back...unlike like most dudes before him coming out of Youngstown,Oh ...who'll go to college as a blue chipper outta H.S. but always dont make it...and come back and just become failures...but now that has changed... acouple yrs ago i saw that Youngstown,Oh had the most players in the NFL at that time and Maurice played apart in that as far as breaking that cycle...if any college coaches reading this and your looking for dope fb players look into the mahoning/ trumbull counties those areas are full of talent and a good amount of those players are from Youngstown,Oh....and Youngstown Boys is my favorite 30 for 30 and of course im being biased

The best true freshman performance in college football history capped off with a National title victory against the University of Miami hurricane. l started as a freshman linebacker l get what he accomplished .

🔥🔥🔥

This dude was bigger than Lebron in Ohio and threw it all away.

Like he was shot out of a cannon if healthy would have gotten 2000 and would have won the Heisman people don’t realise how much hype and adoration he was being given too bad it all went to his head later but for that one season man was he special helped majorly bring OSU a National Championship along with Craig Krenzel Michael Jenkins Chris Gamble and the MVP punter Andy Groom

How firm thy Friendship O-H-I-O. Born Cowlumbus. Alum here from these days too. We have talent. I hear “Ohio” means beautiful in Iroquois too.

People forget they played 13 regular season games, so they had only one off week all regular season or none.

Probably one of the greatest that didn't make it

He was the truth

I remember thinking he was going to be a bad ass in the NFL then heard he was locked up smh....would of loved to see what his career would of looked like.

If his life turned out different, he could have been the second coming of Barry Sanders.

I loved watching this kid pound the rock.

Had just as much talent as Adrian Peterson

Maurice and Adrian Peterson were grown men rb’s as Fr

Alright, check this out! I'll denounce my whole work! Anything included! The deal is, I get equal opportunity to get my "Frankenstein" on! Then I can see where I was so wrong that I was "X"ed out of everything mine!..... Deal or no deal?

wish the video was longer.....sad

In my opinion maurice was better Ezekiel Elliott. Imagine what could of been.

he tore up texas tech as i recall

Power speed vision...

He was do good tragedy smh could have been one of the greats

"$hout$ out to the "Fairmount Hot Boy$!" This the joke they out there "Dying" to prove! I was never school, work, hustle, a game jer$ey, a fight, or a $tick! $ssstooop! Lol

SoCool...

I can call off a whole 5 year game schedule! 12 games the 1st 2 years, 8 the 3rd, and 20 games the last 2! Bitch which 1 did you attend with my whole squad as the witness! Now do you UNDERSTAND ME?

Well,.... I don't know! I don't even "Reality Kings"! More like "Drop Out Zombie Kings"!

A true stud; however, he had too many people whispering bullshit in his ear. Thanks, Jim Brown for fucking up Clarrett's future. Part of the Kudabeen tribe.

This was saquan before saquan

CollegeDays..

Could’ve been a HOF

Ricky Williams was nasty at texas

What is funny to me is all his yards were against teams like San Jose State, Washington State, etc. Ohio State never plays anybody. He would have been average in the SEC.

He missed some time and then played with a bad shoulder to boot.

Special. But Should’ve just calmed down and stayed for another year or two. Probably would’ve done wonders for him.

damn shame he couldnt give up the street life

Incredible talent wasted

And I know you! Its eating you, you still want to prove something irrelevant! That's your downfall! You know the end of the Procrastination story!

And you and dirty .ss gon' try to put me out there on some weird sh.. that ain't got nothing to do with this!..... I know where you want to be! Its obvious!

I know he was just a true freshmen but the top end speed is lacking. He looks good and all but I just don't think the guy seemed all that special. Maybe its recency bias having had Dobbins and Zeke. I think I would take Zeke Dobbins beanie Hyde George all before this guy. Great freshman year though.

Biggest waste of talent I can think of.
