Former UNLV football player killed in New Jersey shooting
Former UNLV football player Jameer Outsey, 27, was killed in a shooting Saturday in New Jersey.
The Union County Prosecutor’s Office said Outsey was found after police officers responded to reports of a man with a gunshot wound on the corner of North Broad Street and Magnolia Avenue in Elizabeth, New Jersey, early Saturday.
He was transported to a local hospital, where Outsey was later pronounced dead, according to the press release from the prosecutor’s office.
Outsey spent two seasons at UNLV as a defensive lineman, appearing in 24 games during the 2017 and 2018 seasons. After a successful prep career at Franklin Township High School in New Jersey, he began his college career at Iowa, where he redshirted for a season and played tight end before transferring to Mesa Community College.
He was the final member of Tony Sanchez’s 2017 recruiting class and earned Academic All-Mountain West honors in 2017.
During his two years at UNLV, he amassed 56 tackles, six sacks, 10 tackles for a loss, a pass deflection and a fumble recovery.
