San Jose State football legend Chandler Jones has tragically seen his young life come to an end.
Jones died in an accident in Los Angeles involving a Toyota RAV4, according to MyNewsLA.
He was 33.
Jones, a former wide receiver who starred for the San Jose State Spartans and later for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes, was identified as the victim in a pedestrian crash on the Marina Freeway in Los Angeles on Sunday
Authorities said Jones was struck and killed by a driver in a Toyota RAV4.
Jones − nicknamed “the Jet” from his time at Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California, and with the Spartans − was hit near an off-ramp on California State Route 90 at about 2 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the California Highway Patrol.
“It is with great sadness that we share the passing of alum Chandler Jones ’09,” Bishop Montgomery High School said in a social media post.
“Jones was a standout player on Bishop’s football team and still holds the record for longest kick-off return (97 yards) and longest fumble recovery (98 yards).”

From 2010 to 2013, Jones shined as both a reliable and explosive target in the San Jose State aerial attack.
Jones’ best season in college with San Jose State was 2013, when he had 79 catches for 1,356 yards and 15 touchdowns and was named to the first-team All-Mountain West Conference team as a receiver.
He finished his collegiate career with the Spartans as the school’s all-time leader in receptions (248) and touchdown catches (31).
Chandler Jones was the only player in the school’s history to record at least 50 receptions in each of his four seasons with the Spartans.
He returned to San Jose State in 2017 as a defensive assistant.
