How Ryan Day Ended Maurice Clarett’s Long Estrangement from Ohio State | The Jim Jackson Show

[@AnnArborIsAWhore]

I'm thrilled that Maurice Clarett seems to be in a good place.

[@bryanhallman8183]

It took him a long time to get there. Jim Tressel never gave up on him, and they both went through a lot.

[@JRock8787-c9v]

2 Legends. This is awesome to see. Glad you're back Maurice.

[@roberthoffhines5419]

Whoa Maurice. The definition of introspection. You and your journey never fail to amaze me. You made us feel (like kings of the world) once, and now we think and learn with you.

[@JeffreyLeohner]

Maurice really turned his life around since he was instrumental in Ohio State’s National Championship win over Miami! Jim Tressel never gave up on him, even after the turmoil, and helped him become who he is today! I respect them both! Class men! ❤️🌰🏈

[@markmiller4595]

Love Maurice's humility.

[@briantincher9284]

Tressel always said that Clarett was going to be an impact person not just an impact player. Very profetic. Great guy. I am so overjoyed to see Maurice doing well. Keep pushing Maurice.

[@erickcartman8758]

Glad to see Mo back around the team and the university. His freshman season and his contribution was incredible. He’s a Buckeye legend. Happy to see he’s turned the page and his life around.

[@simon134]

Gotta love a Redemption story. Keep paying it forward Maurice. GO BUCKEYES!

[@CptGreenJeans]

Glad to see him around the program

[@sebbindeschain76]

I wish Mo had gotten better advice when at OSU. IF he had stayed and just played he culd have been an all-time great. So happy he's back and a part of the program.

[@SatansShart]

Happy for him as well. I can’t speak for him, but I’d bet Maurice has moved on from looking back at what coulda been and has learned to live in the moment and grow towards the future. In my book he is well on his way to becoming an all-time great. Inspiring

[@roberthoffhines5419]

Yeah, it was like he felt too much, both the good and then way too many bad feelings. It seems he's learned that part of him and how to navigate through it. But damn, the way he'd carry a ball. He was a beautiful player. Glad we got to see it while we could.

[@davidbarnes8128]

Andy Gieger the AD at the time railroaded him

[@techdeathhippie6319]

He’s still an all time great for that one AMAZING year

[@AlexWilliams-m4b]

Tressell told him to take the car and it got broken into and that's when all the trouble started

[@Moody3863]

His strip back of Sean Taylor's (rip) interception is one of the greatest football moves of all time. Happy he's reconnected with the university.

[@jonwalter6317]

THIS! Thanks for posting it so I don't have to.

[@user-Q-543]

So true. That single play saved the season

[@markrimelspach7041]

2 Buckeye sports legends who are even better people in real life. Very proud of Coach Day and Maurice Clarett.

[@scottmontgomery8443]

Class act

[@hollywoodhaggar3655]

Personal growth and getting over trauma that has derailed his career is part of life. It seems like he has gotten over his maturity issues. This is what happens when you don't have true leadership in your life as a youngin'. Reacting and being too emotional without thought process is usually what happens when strong rational men are not in your life. Im glad to see him making a difference now.

[@bodhi419]

Clarett is the reason ive been a die hard buckeye since 2002

[@wadesanecki7269]

Shout out to Jim Jackson " Let's go MacMen !!! "

[@klaekrodeman7074]

As a Knight, I miss the old days with Macomber and Devilbis. Yes.

[@SheWhoRemainz]

Hey!! Toledo Oh!

[@itstrizzo]

Hard to fathom it's been 23 years. Happy to see things working out for him.

[@bigflex7049]

Jim Jackson is a great listener.

[@jv1817]

Mo is a great dude. Is he in an official capacity at Ohio state, paid consultant, or just volunteers?

[@jerrymeadows5059]

When Maurice played for the Bucks, actually the year after, I thought he was a very talented but ungrateful punk and after he turned his life around, I doubted his sincerity at first, but now I'm proud of him and for him because he has become an inspiration to so many kids out there who, as I used to say in 2003, were raised by their community to believe they were a god. As they say in Ireland, good man yourself, Maurice.

[@meathook2448]

Literally two of my all time favorite Buckeyes. So glad Mo is back around.

Jim Jackson show on the Rich Eisen show… sounds so weird

[@xxxxbigrich5752]

I’m glad he’s coming slowly because I think that those types of players are essential to a program. The kids can see old players being around. Very cool by Coach Day!

[@SheWhoRemainz]

I’ve always been a huge fan of Maurice. Because I understood his struggle. He had a lot of demons to overcome. And he seems to be in a better place. He’s so well spoken. But I’m glad Jim Tressell put him in his place, and led him to have a friendship (the correct way) with Ryan Day. His story can be a cautionary tale to the young men of the program

[@claytonbigsby]

Did the NFL teams collude to fail him and make an example of him because they didn't want too young of players declaring for the draft? He was a beast.

[@joegreezy]

Nah he was in them streets for real and alcohol.

[@southeastdaygo6193]

Maurice was one of the best freshman I had ever seen! I am Glad he got his life straight.

[@AlabamaBuckeye]

RB1 and Jim 🐐 Jackson! Legends! ⭕️🙌🏿☝🏿⭕️

[@CorneilusGreen]

Clarett was talking crazy one time too

[@bradcrawford1998]

This is an AMAZING story. VERY VERY Deep stuff, WOW 🤯

[@tysonpowell2751]

I love that it’s family ❤

[@slim-y6b]

And people actually wanted to fire Coach Day. He's far more than a coach to these players. A parent couldn't send their kid to play for a better man or coach.

[@Al-Rudigor]

I didn't know JJ had a channel. I don't see a subscribe button though.

[@mikemartin2576]

Get TP back next.

[@jgdwick4067]

Still remember that night against Miami……incredible!!!! Great memories and it’s awesome sir you learned and grew from issues !! Well done!!!!

[@AlexWilliams-m4b]

Greatest game I ever attended. Shoulda won in regulation, all u Miami fans Jenkins was in bounds...

[@joegreezy]

I think Mo paid for his sins. Glad to see him doing well 🫡 go bucks!

[@bernardmayles6564]

It's funny because Clarett called for Day to get fired after the Michigan loss
