A true story of regret, reflection and redemption in athletics and how losing it all and learning the hard way ultimately changed a life for the better.
The former Ohio State star, Maurice Clarett captivated the country with his running back skills in early 2000s and was on pace to be one of the best ever to play but his fall from the top was far and the world never got to see what could have been for football’s favored back from Youngstown, Ohio.
Ryan, Channing and Fred reminisce about how amazingly talented Clarett was on the field and size, stature and running back skills were something the game has never seen before. Detailing his path fast tracked from highschool to playing at Ohio State to winning a National Championship in 2003, However, no one knew that his game-winning touchdown in the Fiesta Bowl would be the last time Clarett touched the football on a major stage.
Growing up with gangs and hustling to make his way, Clarett lived on his own from his teenage years and found football as a means of getting him out of his surroundings and into a different level of living. With all the talent and work ethic needed, Clarett could write his own ticket straight to the NFL in a short time with the accolades and perception surrounding him.
Using the fame and fortune of his overnight stardom to a disadvantage, Clarett ran the streets and allowed his upbringing to be at the forefront of poor decisions and criminal activity which ultimately cost him his career and freedom. Clarett reveals what really went on with his football suspension from OSU, his mental health struggles, details of his aggravated robbery, dodging death, missing out on the NFL, embarrassment and finding purpose through pain in prison.
Although his football career and life was a tragic tale of an athlete at the top of the world who lost it all and never got it back, it’s also one of triumph as Clarett uses his life experiences to better himself, fuel his passions and everyday try to impact and make a difference in someone's life.

Maurice is living proof that just because you make a bad choice you can learn from it and become a better person.
LIVING PROOF
Exactly. (Pivot)
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He was a child being exploited by pretty much everyone around him. He evolved and rose above THAT. His story I home is just beginning
100%
Maurice’s memory is unmatched. This man is extremely smart. Glad to see him doing better

Q
Maurice mention Coach Prime on your podcast y’all could create a “Pivot” move to reconnect these two men.
Coach Prime players , coaches & support staff need to hear his empowering message. Watching Colorado vs Stanford game tonight Coach Prime needs help with these young players.
Watch your podcast all the time & I truly believe you & your guests sharing your life experiences connects with viewers & lives are being changed.
Coach Prime need’s everyone in the “Village” to step up & give him a “helping hand”. When young people get to comfortable it’s easy for them to “check out” so you need to build a tag team of men like Maurice.
@@PackyVsPher4xNoLovehis rich mother tried to sure a poor girl from younstown after side swiping her car and lying and blaming the girl.
Gentlemen of the Pivot. This interview is just as powerful, if not more than the Michael Beasley, Tyson, etc, etc, this is a movement for the community. I know you want to be as diverse as possible with the entire show. These interviews Right Here is why this Pod hit so hard. Much Love to the Pivot movement!
Absolutely 💯👏🙌🙏
Maurice walked so these new kids could run. Thank this man for NIL deals. never forget. People laughed at this man back then to even suggest players be paid.
Dawg Channing makes a serious moment so much more palatable…gotta love that guy 😂
It Is What It Is. Put Maurice Clarett back on the map. His football knowledge and IQ is off the charts and people or starting to notice that.
I just KNEW he was gonna say As A Man Thinketh when he started mentioning a book. Such a great read for everyone!
What an intense story. Glad he grew into a humble smart strong leader
Can't wait for part 2. Shout out to Cam and Mase for putting Maurice on their show and the fellas at the pivot for contacting him and giving him the chance to show your platform who and what he is. I'm from Ohio and went to Ohio state. He's still a legend. People can grow and evolve they just have to decide that's what they want to do and commit to it
My thoughts exactly
Salute
❤❤❤❤ Factz on your comment Cam/Mase/StatBaby
The realest Maurice interview yet. Shout out to the pivot
I'm from Youngstown. Reese is my cuzzo. He's telling no lies. Growing up in the Yo is no joke. I'm proud of the fact he went through hell and is still here to talk about it.. 💯
Yeah. Maurice Clarett needs to make a movie man. This crap is wild. His life is a whole book. Made mistakes but he learned from them. In some ways. I see a lot of Wallo n his testament
One of the best interviews! No cap, no sugar coating, and just real. This is what is needed. Honestly, transparent, and just straightforward conversation. Regardless of where he is…. I REMEMBER THAT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN 02!! He was the ish!
Man he made y’all job easy this episode. Good job on sitting back and letting him tell his story
I’m an Ohio State Buckeye for life, my dad was a graduate, my uncle worked on staff. When I was 11yrs my cousin and I would go into the locker room after games and talked to Woody, Archie, Pete & Cornelius in amazement. SHAME ON YOU OSU, YOU HAVE A MAN COMPRABALE to a Deion Sanders in his stance and love for our youth, redemption, forgiveness, accountability. Listen to this man speak, listen to his heart, when you have another school realizing the value of this man speaking and ingratiating themselves to him. PLEASE, PLEASE WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND THIS TREASURE AND WELCOME HIM BACK TO HIS OSU FAMILY. You guys saved 1 life and now he has the capacity to save a generation. Every player, past& present talks about “THE BROTHERHOOD” at THEE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, C’mon BUCKS, don’t miss this wonderful opportunity❤
FACTS! INFORMATION IS KEY! AD YOUNG BLACK MAN THAT DON'T HAVE INTEGRITY MORALES AND RESPECT WITHIN NEEDS TO HEAR THIS FROM A REAL MAN AND LIFESTYLE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shout out the “it is what it is” for introducing me to Maurice Clarett and shout out the pivot for showing us what a real g he is. I see why cam holds him in such high regard
Same!💯
I love my fellow 330 brother from the YO! Born and raised in Youngstown! The Clarett Boys Michael, Marcus, and Maurice. Representing the YO now and forever! Thanks, RC and the Pivot for having Maurice.
Dirty 3 30
His mom tried to scam a teenager from younstown after side wiping her and lying to the cops about it. She was in a Tesla and the teenage a beat up Mazda. Rich stealing from the poor.
This man’s high school highlight reel is ridiculous. I followed his career closely being an Ohio native and OSU alum. I’ve seen him at the gym in Cbus a few years back. He’s a classy and humble man. Great to see him thriving. Buckeye nation always got love for MC!
I was already a fan of Maurice Clarett the football player but after this episode of The Pivot, I'm an even bigger fan of the man Maurice Clarett. Great show fellas.
It was awesome hearing his side of the story. He took accountability and is inspirational. Proud of the man.
The amount of transparency , clarity, pain, redemption- these are things that we often do NOT SEE commonly in our Black communities. The Pivot Podcast is doing something that many other programs aim for, but cannot achieve. You are making a DIFFERENCE. Period. Changing the narrative on Black Men, Athletes, Families, Addiction, Redemption- essentially all parts of the human condition. Please keep doing this important work, speaking for those who are voiceless, and evolving perspective for the world. Bravo, God Bless Brothers.
well said. This show is a safe space for athlete brothers to open up, and be human. I used to work with Jim Brown/Amer-I-Can Program here in L.A. for many years. Jim dedicated his life to helping young black men, its why he tried helping Maurice. He/we were dedicated to creating these sorts of needed spaces.
Might have to put this one in the top 5 Pivots... Definitely had me locked in
RC is such a wise soul. My bro said “the difference between business and people is feelings.” Also building and massaging relationships. Awesome closer! And just purchase the book “the way of the superior man on audible.” Thanks for the 🔌 Chan! Eat up the meat and spit out the bones. Many gems 💎 dropped today…..
That was GREAT,,,,I live in Columbus,,so it hit home,,,Ohio State needs to make Maurice a part again
Man im so glad these platforms are around. The media painted this guy like a menace. Im not saying he didnt have a nickel in that quarter but OSU did him greasy
Buckeyes 02’ Season was legendary 🔥 🏀
As a die hard Buckeye fan Maurice Clarett is one of my favorite Buckeyes of all time. His life journey is so inspirational. Wishing him continued success and blessings.
One of the best episodes yet! Y’all stay putting out the best interviews
Man I’m glad that he’s doing well today…. The NCAA was/is a monster
One of the best redemption stories of all time!
Maurice is a genuine dude..Him opening up about his character defects and discussing them is some real shit..Despite all of the business success that he’s having
I'm glad we got to hear Maurice's story in long format. Well done fellas.
A hell of an interview. Maurice is soooo deep !
Wow, this was extremely powerful. I hope Ohio State reflects and champions this man’s incredible story
2 carries 140 and 2 touchdowns is crazy 😂😂Fred Taylor was different🔥💥💥
I have a huge amount of respect for this guy. There is a bunch of kids across this country that need to get to know this man’s story. He’s a great inspiration. Could’ve been one of the best to do it.
Glad you got my man Clarrett on the broadcast. Much love from the 330
I'm an Ohio State Alum. I remember when alot of what Maurice said was going on. Amazing story of redemption. Y'all really filled in gaps of things I never knew. Love the Pivot. 💯 Keep telling these stores. They need to be heard. 💯
The interview I didn't know I needed. This was 🔥 🔥 🔥
The first buckeye game I ever went to was Maurice’s first game of his freshman year. It’s one of my earliest childhood memories and was a pivotal moment in my life. From that point on football became a passion for me, and this man played a huge role in that. He is a legend, and I am so PROUD of the man that he has become and the fact that he is and always will be an Ohio state buckeye.
Buckeye for life we still love you bro! Life after football, just take it a day at a time sir!!
Maurice I salute you!!
Maurice will always be the greatest story told
This boy here was the truth, a true beast on the gridiron. It’s good to see em alive & well!
OHIO STATE FOOTBALL! 💪🏿
Aye yo I feel RC, I get a kick out of doin laundry as well. Real men wash clothes! 😂
@@maclac48I'm still mad and disgusted how Ohio State used him and his talent to that national championship than they blackballed him but that's how these White colleges do black players Young Black Men are expandable to them and the world and then they discard them
@@malikwilson7387 Hugh Facts! That’s why I just left it at I’m glad to see em alive & well. Ain’t shit gone change for Us. Sometimes it can be exhausting being mad at white folks & their shady antics. Especially knowing that they’re not going to stop. Peep this though, I’m more disappointed that his father wasn’t more active in his early life to help him navigate through dealing with those white demons.
This is Major. True Redemption Story. Maurice is a major inspiration to Young Black Men. Bravo fellas once again. 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Maurice the goat
Maybe the best thing I ever heard. “There is no finish lines in relationships”. DEEP Thx Channing!
I lived through this as a die hard buckeye fan. Maurice was the man…the university and adults assigned to mentor him or guide him really let him down in my opinion. This was great & what a transformation this man has gone through. So much honesty, accountability & realness 💯
It's more about the programs' focus on saving face. Not in the best interest of the person or persons. Just like the situation with the 2 young men that ended up being found not guilty for rape. It was just ugly how programs handled situations that gave them any kinda bad look.
His mom is a terrible person
I’m so glad he didn’t unalive those people he was going to harm. Getting off on that wrong exit was life saving. It was a blessing in disguise that changed his life. He went through so much at an early age that no kid should have to go through. There is no way he should have been living on his own at fifteen. This was a good story to listen to and learn from.
Wow, what an sit down! Thank you Ryan, Chad, Fred, AND Maurice!
Thank you so very much for having Maurice on 2 share his story. ❤The Pivot Podcast💯
Every coach, especially coaches who are in urban areas, should be reaching out to him to speak to their kids. This guy is walking testimony!!! It sucks that he got it too late. Hopefully, his story can save or change the path for a few young athletes.
He didn't get it too late. He is still here and he beat the odds. Just because he didn't make it in the NFL doesn't mean he failed in life.
He is one of my favorite players. So happy to see him!
MC!! All the respect in the world for this man’s transition. The pivot always have growth topics to grow our community.
This guy is a great story teller.I felt like I was right there next to him in those stories.
Best show yet… great job… I’m proud of Mr. Clarett too Fred…
I was a kid watching this guy and everything he went through proud of this Brother and his profound knowledge this was an amazing interview and very influential
This will always be one of the biggest “What If” players of all time coming out of college
smh man o man might be the biggest
@davidcampbell4169 Maruice carried Ohio State on his back to that National Championship I still say to this Day Ohio State did him super dirty
Along with Reuben Foster…..😞
@@DC4L1991 his girlfriend lied he never hit her
@@malikwilson7387facts
Mann.. this one of them 1s.. I been a buckeye fan since Eddie George.. When Mo hit the scene, I thought he was gon be the best to ever do it . I couldn’t understand what happened at the time everything went left. It was good to hear him talk about.. glad he bounced back. 💯
Maurice Clarett has an amazing testimony. It's a blessing that both he and Chris Herren have turned their lives around. Clarett, O'Bannon, Mike Williams, Chris Webber, and so many others are the reason why we have NIL and the transfer portal.
Awesome episode and hearing his story
God bless him.
I love seeing Mau... what a story he has... And i love hm on Cam & Ma$e It Is What It Is
Never heard of Maurice started watching college ball and nfl about 5 years later but this is my favorite episode by a mile 🔥
I hope he continues to tell his story. This was a great story
Man, what a story. Pivot keep em coming. Maurice, you are an inspiration stay strong my man
Hell of an interview....keep doing yall thing
The best part of the entire podcast was the ending cause it’s so real when we’re so driven to help others & work on our business we can forget others feelings
damn what a 180, dope interview
Another conversation that did not go the way that I expected. Once again, a convo that ALL young people should listen to. My impression of Maurice was likely the typical one held by most folks. I'm so glad that I got to hear him share his story. Kudos to all.
OMG, this was the best interview hands down. One Love to Maurice.
Damm, good show!! This show has motivated me in a few ways and got me looking at myself differently to work on some things in my life.
Yes. I need the part 2! Great job fellas.
I was a fan of Maurice Clarett while @ tOSU and prayed for him during his struggles. I’m more of a fan since his release (physical jail, mental jail). Goes to show that what we might think is a dead end is really an open road to success (however you define success). Cudos to Maurice for pivoting and cudos to The Pivot Podcast for this incredible episode.
Glad to see Maurice spreading knowledge and telling his story. This one was needed. Pivot hands down the best Podcast out right now!!! 💯
Legendary Interviews, Back to Back to Back !!!
Such a powerful interview! Keep it up Maurice! And this is coming from a lifelong Wolverine fan.
Part 2 definitely needs to happen!
Both Pivotal and Serendipitous moments…so much purpose in Maurice’s life and how God still uses him
This is therapy for the guest, but it’s also therapy to the viewers. You guys need to invite a few viewers onto the show to express the experience of watching you’ll show. From the good to the bad I(we) need a show so many people can relate too!
That was a really great interview. Especially hearing it from Maurice.
This has to be one of the best interviews ever! I missed out on money today’s because I was so locked in.
Gotta have a part 2!!! Another gem of an episode!!! The transparency is incredible!!! Thank you!!!
A part 2 most definitely should happen!!
I wasnt really feeling this episode when the thumbnail popped up because I've heard his story before. But none of this has ever been told before like how OSU did him and all the details of his life. Glad i clicked now. And i hope other young brothers listened too!!
Every episode can bless and tech someone something
Great interview. Powerful and Inspirational 💪🏿🖤
Shout out to Cam and Ma$e
One of the best episodes you guys have had and you've had a 1000. Keep up the great work
I'm glad they guys have an outlet. ppl will have their opinions and 2cents to add until the shoe is on the other foot....... be humble ppl
I truly love and appreciate the transparency of this interview. He doesn't make excuses or play the blame game. All of Maurice's trials and tribulations have prepared him for the next phase of his life which will include success.
Great interview. It's refreshing to hear the players' side. Can't wait for pt2
Very refreshing man. Happy to see my guy still doing good in the world
I'm becoming a better, more enlightening man as a result of listening to your content. Thanks for putting in the work, gentlemen! On so many levels, "The Pivot" is chicken soup for the athlete (past and present), the parent, the friend, and all humans in between. Just grateful!
My favorite episode, hands down!! I watched every single episode, I’ve connected on a deep level with a handful.. But this one, is special! Keep going bro!
I literally just thought 2 days ago when I was gonna see this man on the show.. this is a pivot of all pivots man.. met Maurice in the airport 1 time and as a gator fan I just always liked this dude. Keep doing great things fam!!
Salute to MoC..Love hearing real life come back stories..This is a hellava example of that
I’ve been a Ohio St fan since 88’ .. For you guys to bring him on the Pivot is beautiful.. The respect I always had for Clarett . He turned Ohio St around ..
He made OSU relevant again in the big picture. I am glad y'all OSU fans still appreciate him.
Man episodes like this and Beasley are what I look forward to the most.
Really good episode. I’m proud of Maurice Clarett
One of the best interviwes that the pivot podcast have done. Keep up the good work brothers.
