TEMPE, Ariz. \u2014 Arizona State assistant strength coach Steven Miller died Wednesday night. The football program confirmed Miller\u2019s death on social media and canceled Thursday\u2019s spring practice.<\/p>\n
Miller, 29, had recently dealt with medical issues, but the cause of death was not immediately known. The Arizona Republic reported that Miller had suffered a medical incident after practice on April 7 but returned to the practice field a week later.<\/p>\n
A local product who attended nearby Gilbert High, Miller attended Arizona State from 2015 to 2019, earning a starting spot on the offensive line under coaches Todd Graham and Herm Edwards. After college, Miller worked in support roles under former Arizona State offensive coordinator Billy Napier at Louisiana and Florida. He later returned home to work under Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo heartbreaking,\u201d Graham said in a text message to The Athletic. \u201cIn all my years at ASU, no one loved being a Sun Devil more than Steven Miller! He had a heart of gold & loved being a part of our team. He overcame so much as a young person that he truly appreciated being part of our close-knit family. He had a smile on his face and joy in his heart every day! \u2026 He was always the last one to leave the field, signing young kids\u2019 autographs and taking pictures. I know personally he has a strong Faith in God, so I know he is in a better place. Left us way too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
