A DePaul University soccer player was found dead in his dorm room Monday, officials said.

Chase Stegall, 20, was originally from Atlanta and was sophomore on the men’s soccer team. DePaul athletics director DeWayne Peevy and men’s soccer coach Mark Plotkin said Stegall was a “dedicated teammate and kindhearted friend.”

“His loss will be deeply felt across our entire Athletics and university family, and his memory will forever be a part of DePaul University,” they said in a statement.

In a message to the DePaul community, President Robert Manuel said Stegall was known for his “warmth, strength of character, and vibrant presence.”

An autopsy to determine the cause and manner of his death is scheduled, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

According to a post written by Stegall published on the DePaul website in February, he had a history of seizures. In the post, he described bouncing back from injuries and being supported by his coaches, teammates, family and friends.

“My teammates and friends constantly checked up on me, too. They’d helped me get to the hospital, and sent me texts to make sure I was doing OK,” Stegall wrote. “Their kindness, their care, stayed with me.”

DePaul University

Stegall, a midfielder, started playing soccer at 3 years old, according to the post. He was offered a spot on the team after Plotkin watched him at a showcase in California.

After a “challenging” first year on the team where he didn’t get playing time, he bounced back for a strong sophomore season and described scoring his first goal as “one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.”

“I’ll never forget it,” he wrote.

His sophomore year, Stegall played in 16 of the team’s 17 games and saw 369 total minutes of playing time, according to DePaul Athletics.

Stegall was trying to prioritize mentoring his younger teammates and had plans for his role on the team to continue to expand, he wrote in the post.

Stegall has one brother, Collin, and is the son of Darlene and Milton Stegall, who played in the NFL for three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Canadian Football League for 14 years with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“Chase was a bright and talented young man with a promising future, and his loss is felt deeply across our entire Blue Bombers family,” the Blue Bombers posted on Instagram.

A DePaul soccer player died unexpectedly after being found unresponsive in a school residence hall Monday.

Twenty-year-old Chase Stegall, a “cherished” student-athlete who played for the university’s men’s soccer team, “passed away unexpectedly” on the school’s Lincoln Park campus, school officials announced.

“We are heartbroken by the unexpected loss of Chase Stegall, a cherished member of our community, dedicated teammate and kind-hearted friend,” Vice President and Director of Athletics DeWayne Peevy and Head Men’s Soccer Coach Mark Plotkin said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Chase’s family, friends, teammates and all who loved him. In the coming days, we will support Chase’s family and teammates through this devastating time. His loss will be deeply felt across our entire Athletics and university family and his memory will forever be a part of DePaul University.”

Chicago police said they were called around 8:30 a.m. Monday to the 2300 block of North Kenmore Avenue, where a 20-year-old was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives were conducting a death investigation and autopsy results were pending.

In a letter to students, DePaul President Robert Manuel said Stegall, a marketing and communications major at the university, died unexpectedly, but did not provide details on what happened.

“Chase was known for his warmth, strength of character, and vibrant presence – qualities that touched the lives of many both on and off the field. His loss is deeply felt by his teammates, coaches, classmates, faculty, staff, and all who knew him,” Manuel said in the letter. “We extend our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathies to Chase’s family, friends, and loved ones.”

The men’s soccer team wrote on social media it is “devastated by the loss.”

The university has offered counseling services to those impacted.

“Moments like this remind us how fragile life is – and how essential it is to lean on one another. The sorrow of losing a fellow student and friend can feel overwhelming. If you are struggling, please know that you are not alone,” Manuel said.

Stegall was the son of Milton Stegall, a former NFL player with the Cincinnati Bengals who went on to play in the Canadian Football League for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“It is difficult to imagine a more devastating tragedy than the loss of a son or daughter,” CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston said in a statement. “The hearts of everyone in the CFL, and our legion of fans, go out to our dear friend Milt Stegall and the entire Stegall family upon news of the sudden passing of his son Chase Stegall. A soccer player at DePaul University in Chicago, Chase is already being remembered as a gifted athlete, a kind-hearted friend and someone who had a positive effect on all who knew him – qualities synonymous with the Stegall name here in Canada.”

Wade Miller, the president and CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, said the loss is being “felt deeply across our entire Blue Bombers family.”

“We are heartbroken to learn of the sudden and tragic passing of Chase Stegall, beloved son of Blue Bombers legend Milt Stegall,” Miller wrote.

DePaul University said details on a memorial service were expected to be announced in the near future and called for privacy for the Stegall family during this time.

“We will hold Chase’s memory close, and details will be made available at a later time regarding celebration of life services,” Manuel said in his letter. ”In these most difficult moments, we encourage you to care for yourselves and each other. Whether it’s through conversation, a shared memory, or a moment of silence, let us hold space for both grief and healing as a community.”
