The 6-4, 290-pound guard picked up his Virginia Tech offer - sight-unseen - last week while at home in Damrstadt, Germany, where he plays for the Darmstadt Dragons club team.
He visited the United States - touring several campuses, but not Blacksburg - last Summer with his PPI recruit training group. He managed to pick up offers from East Carolina and UCF, but when VT came through, there was little doubt that the Hokies would be the right choice.
Although unranked due to the limited exposure he has on this side of the Atlantic, there's no questioning Miletic has the size to compete at the Power-5 level. Like many European prospects, acclimating to a higher caliber of competition will be a process, but his potential is high when he has the opportunity to learn advanced technique with college coaching. At the very least, in what should be a large signing class, he's quite the impressive physical specimen to kick off a multi-man offensive line group.
UPDATE: Miletic has been granted a rating as a 5.4 two-star player. That gives the Hokies the No. 44 class in the nation, climbing three positions. The 10-man group is currently tied with the 11 men in Kansas's class.
