Comment: no way from , ohio

Comment: No, What will he be doing next? He had a good chance becoming a good football player, he blew it. Get over it. from Blacklick, ohio by connie

Comment: Running back or inmate his life must go even on while on probation. Neb. could come to Ohio if the team is really interested for a tryout, tryout, did someone say tryout!! from Columbus, Ohio by Doug

Comment: Yes, he has turned his life around. Sometimes kids get involved with things and need a second chance. He was a great football player. Just got involved with the wrong things/people. For those people who think he should be turned down at this chance to play football again, shame on you. He still wants to get an education and do something to better himself. How can you be mad at that? Kids grow up and mature and I understand this is a big ordeal, but don't hold the kid back. He wants to show us that it's true that people can get their life back on track! from Cols, Ohio by S

Comment: as long as he is as good as he used to be and singed a contract that included him staying out of trouble and off of all types of drugs.also to get back in the shape he was in when he was a buckeye from columbus, ohio by brian

Comment: I voted no but that is no for right now. Maurice needs some time to adjust and any potential employer needs some time to watch him adjust. from Columbus, Ohio by Chris

Comment: NO WAY. No one needs that type of trouble and kids don't need that type of example. from COLUMBUS , ohio by

Comment: Being the main reason Osu won their last NCAA football championship, making mistakes, and paid his penalty, I would hire him. Hopefully he will do better and have a more positive life. He deserves a chance. from , Ohio by Regge

Comment: No, I think that he had a huge promising career and he blew it. I realize he has served his time, however, based on his history I do not believe he is good role model for the young kids today that want to go to college, play ball and go forward. from , Ohio by Lisa

Comment: no way, he is too temperamental from galion, ohio by dean

Comment: HE HAS SHOWN HIS LACK OF LOYALTY IN THE PAST. WITH THE THINGS HE SAID AND DID AT OSU I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THEY WOULD EVEN LET HIM ON CAMPUS from SUNBURY, OHIO by GREG

Comment: HELL YEAH, LET HIM RUN, FOR THE RAZOR WIRE AT THE END OF THE GOAL LINE.!HE IS A JERK....... from CHILLICOTHE,OHIO, ohio by STENEN
