Eugene Clifford, a backup cornerback for Ohio State and former Colerain High School football standout, is facing assault charges after allegedly punching two men in the face.
According to police, Clifford hit two Holy Grail employees who were trying to break up a fight early Friday at the Corryville tavern. No further information about the brawl was available.
This is not the first time Clifford, 20, has been in trouble with the law or his team.
In December 2007, Clifford, then in his first season with the Buckeyes, was suspended for an undisclosed violation of team rules. His suspension forced him to sit out of the national championship game against LSU.
While a senior at Colerain, Clifford was cited for marijuana possession in March 2007. He paid a $105 fine in that case, though the player’s father, Eugene Clifford Jr. later denied the drugs belonged to his son.
Clifford, a safety while at Colerain, was named a high school All-American by Parade Magazine and USA Today. He also was an Enquirer Player of the Year.
Clifford, who is facing two misdemeanor assault charges, is scheduled to appear in court Monday morning for his arraignment.
