Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett is now a motivational speaker, after turning his once crime-ridden life around. This offseason, he’s been spotted on a number of college football campuses, giving advice to players ahead of the 2015 campaign. This week, he was in Tuscaloosa to talk to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Friday night, Clarett took to Instagram to post a photo of Mel Tucker, who currently coaches Alabama’s defensive backs. He included an emotional note, telling his followers that it was the first time in 13 years that he’s seen Tucker.
