Arizona State University has confirmed the death of former football player and coaching assistant Steven Miller at the age of 29.
Miller, an offensive lineman for the Sun Devils from 2016 to 2019, passed away on Wednesday. According to reports from The Arizona Republic, he had previously experienced a medical issue following a team practice on April 7. He missed the next two practices but returned to the team on Tuesday. His cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
During his collegiate career, Miller was a consistent presence on the field, starting 35 games over four seasons, including every game in both the 2017 and 2019 seasons.
After finishing his playing career, he quickly transitioned into coaching. He spent short periods on staff at the University of Florida and University of Louisiana at Lafayette before returning to Arizona State in 2023 as a graduate assistant.
