University of Cincinnati football player Jeremiah Kelly died unexpectedly at his residence early Tuesday, the school's athletic department announced.

The school did not disclose a cause of death, and the city of Cincinnati police department did not immediately return a message.

"The Bearcats football family is heartbroken by the sudden loss of this outstanding young man," 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."
