This guy's a real jerk
Early commits from big time OOS recruits scare the hell out of me these days, but I have a good feeling here.

Ohio State 2029 WR Commit Austin Miller’s June Visit Confirmed the Buckeyes Are “Top of the Line at What They Do”

Austin Miller always wanted to be a Buckeye; he just needed a trip to Columbus to confirm it.
When Ohio State hosted its final official visit weekend in June, the Buckeyes welcomed the elite 2029 prospect for a cross-country trip to Columbus.
The visit wasn't simply an opportunity for Miller and his family to see Ohio State up close. It was a chance to find out whether the program they had long dreamed about truly matched the image they had built in their minds.
It did.
"We had a plan coming into the visit; this was not a visit to see if I liked it or not, this was a visit to get the confirmation that this was the place for me," Miller told Eleven Warriors.
The clarity is why Miller felt comfortable committing to Ohio State so early in the process, as he has only played one season of high school football. For Miller, the decision centered on development – both on and off the field – and a belief in Ohio State’s proven track record under Ryan Day.
The head coach has emphasized that Ohio State should not only have the best players in the country, but the best coaches at every position. Miller believes that the standard is being met.
"Ohio State is the right place to develop me for the next level because every coach on the coaching staff and everyone who works in player development is top of the line at what they do."
That belief extends to wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton, who quickly made Miller a priority after arriving in Columbus in January. He is the first wide receiver to commit to Ohio State since Hankton replaced Brian Hartline – widely regarded as one of the nation’s top recruiters before leaving OSU to become the head coach at USF – and that early attention not only meant a lot, but was something Miller took notice of and appreciated.
"Being such a priority to coach Hankton so early in this 2029 class is a blessing to me because being his first Buckeye pledge since he got here from LSU was a huge deal to me," Miller said. "My relationship with Coach Hank is great, and what stands out about him as a coach is that he's always going to be real. He also invests time in his players, and he truly cares."
At 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, Miller already has a rare physical profile for his age, and it's easy for him to stand out and separate himself on the field. For comparison's sake, Ohio State freshman Chris Henry Jr. is 6-foot-5, 195 pounds and Jeremiah Smith is 6-foot-3, 223.
But it's not just his size that stands out. As a freshman, he had 35 catches for 609 yards and eight touchdowns while also adding 85 carries for 883 yards and 13 scores on the ground.

Austin Miller had a plan, and Ohio State confirmed it. Now the 2029 wide receiver is all in on the Buckeyes, committing early and looking to help build the future in Columbus.
