Überblick:
- First-Team All-ACC (2024, 2025)
- 2023 Third-Team All-ACC
- 2022 Freshman All-American
- 2022 ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year (College Football Network)
- Clemson Rekordhalter für Karriere Snaps (3,778)
Im Detail:
- Miller brach den Clemson Rekord für die meisten Snaps von der Line of Scrimmage und absolvierte 3.778 offensive Snaps in 54 Karriere Spielen (als Starter) von 2022 bis 2025
- Nahezu alle (96,5%) seiner College Snaps absolvierte er als Right Tackle
- First-team All-ACC Selection in 2025, und damit der 25. Spieler in der Schulgeschichte mit mindestens drei All-ACC Selections in seiner Karriere
Experten Analyse
- Er hat die ideale Größe, Länge und Kraft für seine Position. In der Pass Protection besitzt er genügend Schnelligkeit, um Speed-Rusher auf der Außenbahn zu kontrollieren. Er nutzt seine Reichweite und starke Hände, um Gegenspieler zu binden und zu kontrollieren. Gegen Power-Rusher kann er sein Gewicht gut absenken und stabil dagegenhalten. Zudem spielt er aufmerksam und erkennt Stunts und Richtungswechsel der Defensive.
- Im Laufspiel kann er bei Down Blocks Bewegung erzeugen und arbeitet konsequent bis zum Ende des Spielzugs. Beim Vorrücken auf Linebacker ist er auf gerader Linie effektiv, hat jedoch Schwierigkeiten, in offenen Räumen die Richtung zu ändern und Verteidiger abzuschirmen. – Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com
Twentyman's Einschätzung: Der Vorteil, einen All Pro Spieler wie Penei Sewell zu haben, der beide Tackle Positionen spielen kann, besteht darin, dass sich die Lions darauf konzentrieren konnten, den passenden Offensive Tackle zu finden, ohne sich um die Seite kümmern zu müssen. Miller passt mit seiner Größe, Athletik und Erfahrung ins Profil der Lions, nachdem er in vier Jahren bei Clemson 54 Spiele gestartet ist. Er dürfte 2026 mit dem erfahrenen Larry Borom um den Starting Posten auf der Right Tackle Position konkurrieren.

Seine eigenen Worte: "Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich schon viel Football gesehen habe. Ich war an vielen Spielzügen beteiligt, habe viele verschiedene Pass Rusher und unterschiedliche Systeme gesehen", sagte Miller beim Combine.
"Ich denke, das hilft mir. Man lernt, indem man aufs Feld geht und Dinge umsetzt, und ich freue mich darauf, noch mehr zu lernen. In dieser Liga gibt es so viel zu lernen und so viel Wissen. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, alles aufzusaugen und wie ein Schwamm davon zu profitieren."
