Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Keith Miller III died Thursday at his home. He is 23 years old.
He spent two seasons as the Texas A&M University-Commerce team captain with the Buffs from 2020-21. He had 39 receptions for 457 yards and four touchdowns in his two seasons with the Lions. Miller transferred to TAMC after participating in CUβs last postseason bid to the 2020 Alamo Bowl, a loss to Texas. Miller had 1,856 yards during his career at Colonial High School outside of Dallas. He was a big target at 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, but was unable to make the transition due to COVID-19. He was good for five games, but did not see action for the Buffs.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Buffs Keith Miller.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and teammates.
