Clemson University announced Saturday that former wide receiver Diondre Overton died at the age of 26.

A Clemson official confirmed the news to Grace Raynor of The Athletic.

According to the Guilford County Sheriff's Office (h/t TMZ), Overton was shot and killed after a disturbance at a house party.

In remembrance of Overton, the official Clemson Football account on X shared a post about the former player featuring photos of him on the field and during graduation:

Overton, who was born in Greensboro, North Carolina, played at Clemson from 2016 to 2019, winning two national championships during his time at the school.

Over the course of his four seasons at Clemson, Overton caught 52 passes for 777 yards and seven touchdowns. That included a career-best year of 22 grabs for 352 yards and five scores as a senior in 2019.

Overton caught passes from both Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, both of whom went on to become first-round draft picks in the NFL.

Several of Overton's former Clemson teammates mourned his death Saturday, including Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, who wrote, "Brotha I miss you already man. I love you 5L. I'm hurtin bad bout this right now," on his Instagram story, per Raynor.

While Overton went undrafted in 2020, he spent time in several professional leagues outside the NFL over the next several years.

Overton was with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats for a time in 2021, although he never appeared in a regular-season game for the team. He then played for the Vienna Vikings in the European League of Football, followed by the USFL's Philadelphia Stars in 2022 and 2023.

He was part of the Stars team that reached the USFL title game in 2022, losing 33-30 to the Birmingham Stallions.

After the USFL and XFL merged into the UFL, Overton appeared in seven games for the Memphis Showboats in 2024, making three catches for 33 yards.
