I still remember reading how hard he worked to get his grades in order to be academically eligible for enrollment prior to attending the university. The night classes and such.

Hope he finds the right fit and has success.

Ohio State football: Berry expected to leave
By Bill Rabinowitz
The Columbus Dispatch
February 9, 2012

Officially, running back Jaamal Berry remains on the Ohio State football roster.

But his status might be a matter of semantics.

According to attorney R. William Meeks, who is representing Berry in his misdemeanor assault case, the sophomore has been told that he?s no longer a part of the team. Berry?s high-school coach said the same thing.

?From the conversation he had with the coaches, it didn?t appear that they were excited about him being (there),? said Larry Coffey, coach at Palmetto (Fla.) High School, who spoke with Berry on Tuesday. ?He took the lead from that, and his thought process was that it was maybe time for him to go in another direction.?

Berry was in Franklin County Municipal Court yesterday morning for a pre-trial hearing, which was continued because his lawyers are contesting the way police conducted a photo lineup. A motion hearing will be scheduled to address Meek?s contention that the handling of the photo array violated Berry?s constitutional rights.

Berry is charged with assault and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors, for an incident on Oct. 21 near the North Market. Justin M. Jerich, 21, of Westerville, reported that Berry hit him and then taunted him near a parking garage.

Meeks said Berry is not guilty of assault and placed the odds of the case going to trial at ?50-50.? If there is a trial, Meeks said, it probably won?t happen for a couple of months.

Berry remains on scholarship, an Ohio State spokesperson said, but he has not worked out with the team since he was suspended after the incident with Jerich. Berry is taking classes this quarter, and Meeks said Berry might finish the school year at Ohio State.

Former OSU football player pleads guilty to misdemeanor and is fined $250
By John Futty
The Columbus Dispatch Monday August 27, 2012

Former Ohio State running back Jaamal Berry was fined $250 this afternoon after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct for an altercation in the Arena District last year.

He also was ordered to perform 20 hours of community service but was credited with completing those hours by recently assisting with swimming lessons for autistic children in Miami, Fla., his attorney, R. William Meeks, said.

The plea agreement for Berry, 21, did not include jail time or probation.

The sentence was imposed by Franklin County Municipal Judge David Young.

Berry was charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct in October after a 21-year-old Westerville man said Berry punched and taunted him near a parking lot by the North Market.

Berry was suspended from the Buckeyes football team after the arrest. He has since transferred to Murray State, where he will be the starting running back, Meeks said.
