A lawyer for Maurice Clarett will meet with the city of Columbus’ lead prosecutor Wednesday morning to discuss a possible resolution to the suspended Ohio State tailback’s misdemeanor case, a prosecutor’s spokesman said Monday.
The meeting between Percy Squire and prosecutor Stephen McIntosh is scheduled before a hearing in Franklin County Municipal Court related to the case.
City attorney spokesman Scott Varner said Squire requested the meeting. Squire did not return a message seeking comment.
Clarett is accused of filing a campus police report that exaggerated the value of items stolen from a dealership car he borrowed in April. He has pleaded innocent to the falsification charge.
– Receiver Braylon Edwards, who led Michigan with 85 catches for 1,138 yards and 14 touchdowns, says he will return to school for his senior season. Also deciding not to go pro was Georgia defensive end David Pollack. Michigan State defensive tackle Matthias Askew said he will enter the draft.
– Rick Minter, fired last month as Cincinnati’s head coach (53-63-1), is South Carolina’s new defensive coordinator. He rejoins Lou Holtz, for whom he was a Notre Dame assistant in 1992-93.
