Former USF defensive lineman Elkino Watson has died following an early-morning stabbing incident outside an Ybor City nightclub.
Police confirmed the identity of Watson, whose USF career ended in 2014, late Sunday morning. Several former teammates were mourning Watson's death via Twitter. Another victim, Desmond Home, suffered what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
"RIP Elkino Watson," tweeted FIU running backs coach Tim Harris Jr., an assistant at Miami's Booker T. Washington High during Watson's all-state prep career there. "He was great young man from a great family. Sad to hear you were taken away from us all so soon.
