Arizona State football<\/a> assistant strength coach Steven Miller has died, according to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office.<\/p>\n

Miller, who suffered from epilepsy, had endured medical issues recently, one incident occurring after the team had wrapped up practice on April 7. Most of the players had left the practice facility, but about 30 or so remained behind, some waiting for transportation back and others doing interviews with the media.<\/p>\n

Miller was not at the next two practices, but was back at practice on April 14.<\/p>\n

He was one of the coaches who had a special bond with many of the team’s players.<\/p>\n

Jeff Sims<\/a>, who played quarterback from 2024 to 2025, posted a photo on his social media of Miller after the Big 12 conference championship win over Iowa State<\/a> with the caption: “Solid as they come rest up my dawg.”<\/p>\n
