Sad news out of the sports world.

Chase Stegall, a member of DePaul University’s men’s soccer team and the son of former NFL and CFL star Milton Stegall, has sadly passed away at the age of 20.

The school announced Chase’s “unexpected” passing in a statement shared on their official Instagram page, writing:

“We are heartbroken by the unexpected loss of Chase Stegall, a cherished member of our community, dedicated teammate and kind-hearted friend… His loss will be deeply felt across our entire athletics and university family.”

Reports state Chase was found deceased in his residence hall on DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus Monday morning, June 2. An official cause of death has not been released at this time.

Chase is survived by his parents, Milton and Darlene Stegall, and his brother Collin.

Milton Stegall had a distinguished 17-year professional football career, spending three seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals and 14 seasons in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Following his retirement in 2009, he was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

As of now, the Stegall family has not made any public statements regarding Chase’s passing.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Stegall family during this incredibly difficult time.
