Bailey Lenney

By Cecilia Levine From Daily Voice

A 27-year-old former Division 1 football player has been identified as the victim of a fatal weekend New Jersey crash.

Loved ones identified Bailey Lenney, of Malaga, as the driver ejected from the sunroof of a vehicle that had overturned multiple times Saturday, Aug. 16 in a farm field after leaving Marshall Mill Road, as previously reported by Daily Voice.

Lenney played Division I football as an offensive lineman for Alabama A&M, according to the team’s roster. Loved ones said he was known for his laughter, charm, and the way he always cared for others.

“Bailey was to be a first-time uncle in just five short weeks, looking forward to meeting his nephew, as his sister Jenna is expecting her first baby,” wrote Christina Sturgill in a GoFundMe that had raised $9,000 as of press time. 

“He was best friends with his younger sister Tori, who was home making him dinner when the family received the worst news possible.”
