i saw on Twitter he posted a pic of him in a hospital and said the battle begins. What is the story?
Prayers out to him.

Played for every PSU coach since Rip Engle. Tough kid. He's got this.
Man, all sorts of bad news tonight with this and Matt Millen. Last I saw Miles was when he'd injured his foot. My son lived in Nittany Apts that year and I'm guessing Miles did as well. Saw him tooling around on a scooter through the apt area. Hope both these former players succeed in their medical battles.
As a survivor of NHL and later Richter's Transformation(Hodghkins) I remember the doctor telling me that it was treatable, curable, but not pleasant. Hang in there Miles!
God bless and best of luck to Miles and family.
Prayers for Mile’s full and speedy victory over this infirmity.
For this fine young man going through a difficult challenge, we can at least spell his name correctly:

Thanks, closing in on my 8th anniversary of my stem cell transplant. The things they are doing for this type of blood cancer are amazing. It seems to hit your people in their late 20's to early 30's and the 50-60 year old bracket is also hit hard(I was diagnosed just three months shy of my 53rd birthday).
I posted this in the den so apologies for repeating myself but think its important to let people know to get checked...
My best friend passed the day after his 47th birthday. He was diagnosed, initially, with colon cancer (Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, If anyone reading this is African American or their friends are please tell them to get checked.) then it went to his lymph nodes then his liver (twice).
Thank you for bringing Miles to our attention Nate, I really appreciate it. Karen & I sit close to the players bench during games and are fortunate to watch & ocassionally hear the players capers, tomfoolery and sometimes skirmish. Some of the young guys are really impressionable, Miles...was one of our favorites. Really nice kid.
Have to leave for town now. If I have time later today, I tell a few stories about Miles which I'll always remember.
Prayers for you Miles, be strong.

Miles was the ultimate team mate. He epitomizes the best of Penn Stare.
Thanks. Was a long road from the shock of diagnosis till chemo and radiation are done. Diagnosed in October, just finished radiation in early April (~ 7months).
He's 11 and is likely much more resilient than I would probably be.
From Miles during one of the tv features on John Urschel a few years back;
"If John is so smart, how come he can't teach me calculus?" Always loved this kids sense of humor. Kick ass Miles, I'm pulling for you.
