Chase Stegall (November 9, 2004 – June 2, 2025) was a midfielder who played for the DePaul men's soccer team from 2023-2024. 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.
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 2nd. [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 2nd, 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 8th 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 3rd as a "sudden unexpected death in epilepsy", also known as SUDEP. [10]
