Memorial
[edit]Chase Stegall (November 9, 2004 – June 2, 2025) was a midfielder who played for the DePaul men's soccer team from 2023 to 2024. He was the son of former NFL and CFL player Milt Stegall as well as his mother Darlene. He was a native of Atlanta, Georgia. Chase was the older brother of Colin Stegall.
As a freshman in 2023 Stegall did not see any playtime. However, for the 2024 season he played in 16 out of 17 games, scoring a goal against Drake on September 2.[6] He would see 369 minutes of playing time.
A sophomore aged only 20, Stegall was found unresponsive in his dorm room in Lincoln Park on the morning of June 2, 2025 and was pronounced dead at the scene.[7] It was published by Stegall on the DePaul website in February that he had a history of seizures. An autopsy at the Cook County medical examiner's office was scheduled.[8] On August 8 it was announced on the DePaul Athletics Instagram page that the team would wear #19 patches on all kits for the 2025 season to honor Stegall.[9]
The cause of death was announced on September 3 as a "sudden unexpected death in epilepsy", also known as SUDEP.[10]
