How he fits: Miller comes to the San Diego State football team from Dallas (offensive line coach Darrell Funk recruited him out of Texas) and many believe he is the best all-around player in this year’s recruiting class. He’s 6 feet, 220 pounds, and fits the mold head coach Brady Hoke would like to see in his starting tail back. His biggest competition for playing time will be junior Brandon Sullivan, senior Atiyyah Henderson and true freshman Ronnie Hillman.

Camp so far: After Henderson went down with a shoulder injury, Miller has taken plenty of snaps with the second unit behind Sullivan. The coaching staff has said it has liked what it has seen so far from Miller, but admits there still is competition for playing time. Miller says he, Hillman, Sullivan, junior Davon Brown and even true freshman Walter Kazee have been in there “rotating around” at the running back spot.

Best tool: Miller is a unique back and his best tools are why so many fans are excited to see him in red and black. He claims his best asset is his power, but his 40-yard dash time of 4.46 seconds suggests speed is also his best asset. “I can put moves down, too; I can run a little bit,” Miller said. “But the power is probably my best game.”

Something you don’t know: Like most college students, Miller enjoys a good video game. “I’m a game-aholic,” Miller said. “I stay on games all day and all night. I’m big on “Madden’, “NCAA’; I be on those games.”

Quotable: “It’s been cool,” Miller said of San Diego and playing for SDSU. “We got cool guys. If I’m going to be away from home, I want to be comfortable. So I feel like I’m real comfortable here. I could see myself living here for the next four or five years.”
