Eugene Clifford,
a backup cornerback for Ohio State and former Colerain High School football standout, faces misdemeanor assault charges after allegedly punching two men.
According to police, Clifford, 20, hit two employees who were trying to break up a fight early Friday at a Corryville tavern.
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Bernie Bouchard today set Clifford's bond at $2,000. Clifford posted the bond and was released from jail.
While a senior at Colerain, Clifford was cited for marijuana possession in March 2007. He paid a $105 fine in that case. The player's father, Eugene Clifford Jr., later denied the drugs belonged to his son.
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 the national championship game against LSU.
