STORRS
Jasper Howard, a 5-foot-9, 174-pound starting cornerback on the UConn football team, died today after an on-campus stabbing.
According to multiple sources, Howard, 20, was taken to St. Francis Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Coach Randy Edsall spent the night at St. Francis.
Howard is from Miami and attended Miami Edison High School.
Howard played in UConn's 38-25 vicory over Louisville Saturday.
UConn officials reported a fight and stabbing early Sunday morning outside the scene of a dance at the Storrs campus. The altercation took place after a fire alarm prompted over 300 people to evacuate onto the street, according to UConn police.
Two people were stabbed, and a UConn ambulance initially transported them to Windham Hospital, UConn police said.
The perpetrator of the stabbing is still at large, according to an emergency alert posted on the University's website Sunday morning.
Police are asking anyone with information related to the stabbing to contact the University police at 860-486-4800.
Edsall and sports information director Mike Enright did not return calls.

WTF the article is about the guy getting stabbed, and the advertisement talks about how to get your body ripped... Jeez... You can't plan it any better than that.
