He was the only sophomore in the Pacific-10 Conference to earn all-conference honors in 1994 as he led UW and finished third in the Pac-10 with 106 tackles (67 solos); he became the first Husky defensive back to lead the team in tackles since Tony Bonwell recorded 142 tackles in 1972, and he was also credited with an interception, two forced fumbles and one recovered fumble. Milloy started all year at free safety as a junior, leading the team in tackles for the second consecutive season with 115 stops, in addition to tallying three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one interception.

During the pre-draft process, Milloy met with the New England Patriots' secondary coach Bill Belichick.
I didn't think he had any weak points, he was one of the most impressive guys I ever talked to. The guy hadn't watched film since his last college game back in November and he knew everything, `Here's what this call is, this is why I'm doing this. See that formation? Here are the adjustments. Now he's going in motion, we're checking this, I got him, he's got him ...' It was like he watched film yesterday. After what I saw, I thought, `This guy is smart. He's not going to have a problem handling anything.' And he liked football. He was into it. It wasn't work for him. Let's face it: He does have a little bit of an attitude. But in the end, you can certainly work with the guy.[2]
