“I bring a lot of qualities and leadership on both sides of the ball.”
Miller is coming off a season in which he injured his shoulder. He has fully recovered and is working hard to improve in a few areas.
“I’m going to work on my bench press, 40-time and my trap blocking.”
Miller’s shoulder is fine and you can see that by looking in his mailbox. He is receiving mail from all over the country, although he hasn’t received any offers. Which ones stand out?
“South Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland and I can’t leave out Colorado.”
Does any certain one stand out?
“South Carolina, they were straight up with us. They want you to do your school work and do your job on the field,” he said. “We were there for junior day and we had fun. They have an excellent weight room."
Miller plans to attend summer camps at South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Georgia, and North Carolina State.
