Freshman Jeremiah Kelly dead 'unexpectedly,' Cincinnati announces
Cincinnati football freshman Jeremiah Kelly died unexpectedly at his residence early Tuesday morning, the university announced in a press release.
There is no known cause of death for the Avon, Ohio native.
"The Bearcats football family is heartbroken by the sudden loss of this outstanding young man," football head coach Scott Satterfield said. "In the short time Jeremiah has spent with our team, he has made a real impact, both on the field and in our locker room. My prayers are with the Kelly family and those who had the pleasure of knowing Jeremiah."
Kelly was an early enrollee with the program after helping lead Avon High School to a 16-0 record and a state championship in 2024. As a senior, Kelly earned first-team all-conference and all-district honors and was named the SWC Lineman of the Year.
According to 247 Sports Composite rankings, Kelly was a three-star recruit and the 1,565th-ranked prospect in the country. He committed to the Bearcats on June 21, 2024.
"We've suffered a heartbreaking loss today," Director of Athletics John Cunningham said. "All of us at UC send our love and prayers to the Kelly family and we will do everything that we can to support them and our Bearcats student-athletes in the difficult days and weeks ahead."

D-backs and Reds suspended after 6 innings by rain, will resume Saturday
CINCINNATI — The Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds game on Friday night was suspended by rain with the score tied 3-3 after six innings. The game is scheduled to resume on Saturday at 2:10 p.m. The regularly-scheduled game will begin approximately 40 minutes after the completion of the suspended game. Arizona hit back-to-back homers in the third off Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo with Ketel Marte's two-run shot followed immediately by Geraldo Perdomo's solo homer to make the score 3-0. It's the third time this season that the D-backs have hit consecutive homers, but the first since May 9 against the Dodgers. TJ Friedl's two-run homer trimmed Cincinnati's deficit to 3-2 in the third. Eduardo Rodriguez started for Arizona and allowed two earned runs and five hits in five innings. Reds first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who was reinstated from the injured list Friday, tied the score 3-3 with a solo homer off Cristian Mena in the sixth. It was his first home run since April 5. With the score tied in the sixth, the Reds had runners on first and third with two outs, but Cristian Mena got pinch-hitter Gavin Lux to ground to third ending the inning just before the rain delay. It's the fifth game since Great American Ball Park opened in 2003 to be suspended and completed the next day. RHP Nick Martinez (0-2, 6.06) will start for the Reds while RHP Bryce Miller (0-2, 4.50) goes for the Diamondbacks in Saturday's regularly-scheduled game. ___ AP MLB:
