Overton played all four seasons with the Tigers from 2016 to 2019. He was on the Tigers when they won the national championship in 2016 and 2018. He had 52 catches for 777 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

"Clemson Football and the entire Clemson Family mourns the passing of Clemson alumnus Diondre Overton," Clemson said in a post on X. "Our thoughts are with his family and friends."

No other details about his death were given. A university official told the Associated Press that the school had heard about Overton’s death and reached out to authorities in Greensboro, North Carolina, to confirm it.

Surely not old age or natural causes?

From another article

“Sheriff’s deputies arrived at a residence in Greensboro, N.C., around 2:30 a.m. after there were reports of a loud party and a noise disturbance, which included a report of shots being fired. Greensboro was Overton’s hometown.

Deputies found that Overton had been shot and he was pronounced dead at the scene after he was provided medical aid.”

I guess that clears it up.

Good thing this didn’t happen 3 years ago or he would have died of covid.

The National Felons League eats its own. For the life of me I cannot understand the male fans gay fetishism for the players. I am certain that a solid 30% of the superfans have gay crushes on the players.

Died at about 0230 at a loud party of a gunshot wound. Sad, but not surprising.

Bear in mind always, what you call black culture is American culture.

If you’ve never been to Greensboro, NC don’t go. He died from a terminal case of “the hood”.

1. He wasn’t in the NFL
2. Most people aren’t fans of the players, but the teams, usually going long back into their childhoods.
3. The closeted gay fan trope is so boring and stupid.
