Maurice Clarett net worth: Maurice Edward Clarett is an American football player, who has a net worth of $15000. Born to parents Myke Clarett Sr. and Michelle Renee Clarett, Maurice was raised along with his two older brothers Marchus and Michael Graham Clarett Jr. He attended Warren G. Harding High School where he caught national attention and was ranked among the top 100 players on the national level. He then received an invitation to attend Ohio State University.
During his stay in Ohio State, he rushed for 1237 yards and scored 18 touchdowns which led the Buckeyes to win the BCS National Championship in 2002 with a 14-0 record. In 2003 against the University of Miami, he too scored the winning touchdown in the Fiesta Bowl. However, Claret also left several marks of his troubling incidents. His erratic behavior and troublesome attitude sparked so many controversies. This even got worse to such scale that his teaching assistant reported the New York Times about him receiving preferential treatment from a professor. However, the investigation on the accusation could not find any strong evidence to provide his academic misconduct.
He challenged the NFL's rules stating a player have to wait at least three years to declare for the draft after graduation from High School. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos for the 2005 NFL Draft to be picked finally for the 3rd round. However, due to his unimpressive performance led by his over-weight body, missing from game field for over a year and an injury, he was soon released from the contract. He was signed for UFL by the Omaha Nighthawks on August 30, 2010. He played his most important game of the past 8 years, where he rushed for 12 yards on 5 attempts. He was arrested in August 9, 2006 in Columbus by the police for having made an illegal U-turn. He also became a blog writer during his stay behind the bars in prison.
