A college football star's shocking death has sparked an outpouring of grief from his girlfriend, former teammates and coaches, as well as the surrounding Dallas area.
Texas A&M-Commerce wide receiver Keith Miller III was found dead near campus on Thursday evening, according to a school press release. A cause of death has not been revealed and a police spokeswoman did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for further information.
Miller is described as a father in a statement from Lions coach Clint Dolezel, although details about the 23-year-old's family life remains murky. He was apparently in a relationship with a woman named Caila Jae, who shared her grief on Instagram.
'I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you,' Jae captioned a smiling picture of the couple on social media. 'I will never love anyone the way I loved you. See you soon.'
The football star was also remembered by Southern California receiver Brenden Rice, the son of Hall of Famer Jerry and an ex-teammate of Miller's at Colorado. Both Miller and Rice began their college careers at the Boulder campus before transferring to Texas A&M Commerce and USC, respectively.
