MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia head coach Neal Brown paid tribute to late Roane County football player Alex Miller at his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
“On behalf of our football program, I want to offer our condolences to the family of Alex Miller and his friends, teammates as well as everyone in Roane County,” Brown said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them. It’s a really sad event. I wanted to make sure everyone in Spencer and Roane County knew that we are thinking about them.”
Miller, a senior football player at Roane County, died after collapsing on the field in-between the first and second quarters of his team’s game against Clay County on Friday night.
