HARRY MILLER GETTING UP TO SPEED QUICKLY COULD GIVE OHIO STATE THE NATION'S BEST INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE
At the time Ohio State suspended – and eventually canceled – all in-person classes in March, about a month and a half of schoolwork remained in the spring semester.
For Harry Miller, the shutdown of the campus meant that once he got back to the United States from Nicaragua, where he spent a week with his teammate Tommy Eichenberg on a trip with Mission for Nicaragua, he wouldn’t return to Columbus. Rather, he’d stay in Georgia for the foreseeable future. It also forced the recent Buford High School valedictorian to do his classes online.
But that didn’t prove to be much of an issue. His mother, Kristina, said he spent some of his earlier years basically homeschooling himself. Miller would wake up, sign in to the online program, see his objectives for the day and complete them without any issues. She’d “very seldomly” have to follow up with him about assignments or work with him, able to “navigate on his own.” While Miller might have preferred classes in Ohio State’s classrooms, the virtual work kept him on course.
“I've never had to tell him to go do something. He just does it,” Kristina said. “He was on the couch. He was like, ‘This is great. I could do this. This is no problem.’”
Workouts were the same way, too. He and his mother contacted his personal trainer, Ryan Goldin, before they even left Nicaragua to tell him Miller needed to work out with him. Soon, they were back together in a routine, working out regularly between 6 and 8:30 a.m.
If all goes right, Miller won’t get off track at all. And if he maintains his trajectory, wins the open starting left guard spot and rises to the level that some see him reaching, Ohio State could have the nation’s best interior offensive line in 2020.
Maybe it’s too early to make those types of claims considering Miller hasn’t even started a game and played 181 snaps as a true freshman, with most of the playing time coming in the second halves of blowouts. But the other two interior linemen whom he would start alongside have legitimate claims to be viewed as the best at their respective positions in the country.
Wyatt Davis, a redshirt junior right guard, earned first-team All-American honors in 2019 for his outstanding first season as a starter. A one-time five-star lineman from California with deep football ties, he’s back for what could be his final year as a Buckeye before potentially becoming a high-round NFL draft selection next spring. In the middle stands Josh Myers, a fellow second-year starter at center. The Miamisburg native was deemed a second-team All-Big Ten pick by the media and third-team all-conference selection by the coaches.
It’s hard to know exactly how Miller would perform be as a first-year starter, but the ceiling of an interior lineman trio that also includes Davis and Myers is quite high.
