Milum thanks his family, coaches, and teammates in a statement he released on social media.
"To my coaches, thank you for always pushing me to be the best player I can be. Thank you for turning an 18-year-old kid into a man. I was blessed to have you as my coaches. Coach Brown, thank you for giving a kid from a small town in West Virginia, a chance to live out his dream and play college football," Milum said.
