Incredible pickup and huge, huge get. Could see Harry being a 3-4 year starter and potentially the next Billy Price. Absolutely a crucial piece of the '19 recruiting class puzzle. Great player, amazing student and person, can't hit a bigger home run than we did here/ Welcome aboard Mr. Miller!

THE HURRY UP: CIVIL UNREST IN NICARAGUA ALTERED HARRY MILLER'S DECISION TIMELINE WHILE OHIO STATE OFFERS RISING FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK QUINN EWERS

JACK HANNAH, CLOSER

Ohio State landed a commitment on Sunday afternoon from Georgia four-star center Harry Miller, a decision that was widely anticipated but ultimately not expected until his annual mission trip to Nicaragua early next month.

The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Miller was scheduled to visit Nicaragua July 2-9, but was forced to cancel amid safety concerns with anti-government protests throughout the country, hence today’s announcement.

Miller and his mother, Kristina, arrived on campus on Friday, and we spotted them during the Buckeyes’ one-day camp that afternoon. He didn’t participate, but watched closely as offensive line coach Greg Studrawa instructed campers.

We reported that evening the Millers would remain in Columbus through Monday morning, with the weekend being described as a chance for them to be “tourists.” They visited the zoo and ate at Schmidt’s Sausage Haus on Saturday, both excellent choices. They also attended Rock City Church with head coach Urban Meyer, director of player personnel Mark Pantoni and their families on Sunday morning.

All that said, Miller has actually been committed to Ohio State since he took his official visit the weekend of the Spring Game. He simply wanted to get the kids of Nicaragua involved in his announcement, given how much they mean to him. The aforementioned unrest led to the chance of plans.

Miller’s commitment moves the program up to fifth in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings, trailing just Alabama, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and South Carolina in the standings. The Crimson Tide hold four more commitments than the Buckeyes.

As mentioned, Miller will wrap up his three-day visit by going to dinner this evening with Studrawa and freshman offensive tackle Max Wray. I’m sure there will be some celebratory appetizers ordered at the Slobs’ table.

What does Harry Miller bring to Ohio State

One of the best linemen in the country is now a Buckeye

6_8282111.0.jpg


Pulling recruits out of the deep south is one of the most difficult tasks for teams outside of the region to accomplish in college football. It’s extremely hard to out-recruit SEC teams in their own back yards, and every time a school like Ohio State wants a recruit from the area, it’s a battle. The second hardest thing to do in college football recruiting is to consistently land top talent on the offensive line. Somehow, Urban Meyer does both extremely well. Today, he combined the two.

Harry Miller isn’t just one of the best linemen in the south, he’s one of the best linemen in the entire country. The Buford, Ga. product is the eighth-best player in the state, and the second-ranked center in the country. He comes in at 36th nationally, and that’ll only improve over the summer and his senior season, because he just keeps getting better.

Obviously, Miller is an extremely talented player, and will contribute to Ohio State with his ability, but this commitment is extremely significant for more than just that obvious, on-field reason. Let’s take a look at what this pledge means for the Buckeyes.

On the field

Controlled chaos is really the best way to describe Miller’s game. The 6-foot-4, 310 pounder is absolutely massive, and you’d expect him to be a true mauler, with no real technique or control, like most large high school linemen are. However, that isn’t really the case, and that’s what makes him so special.

Despite his frame, Miller has extremely impressive body control, and moves far more quickly than someone his size should be able to. He doesn’t try to do too much on any block, which keeps him from whiffing, and allows him to be more in control of the play, and of his assignments. His blocks are very calculated, and he has the ability to adjust to a defender on the fly.

That’s something that you don’t usually see in high school linemen. It’s easy to see that Miller can read a defense, and knows how to use his body to make the right block, not just the devastating, highlight block. That’s not to say he’s not capable of the latter, and when given free reign— either down the field or on a pull—, Miller can do some serious damage. However, that also comes from his body control and quickness. He has a great first step, and his pull-blocks are extremely clean and effective because of those skills.

His football IQ and ability to adjust makes his an ideal fit for a position that often lacks true talent: center. Ohio State has become comfortable with moving guards, like Pat Elflein and Billy Price, over to center because they have the experience and ability to run it. That won’t be the case with Miller, because unlike Elflein and Price, he’s a true center, and he’ll do his best work in the middle of the line.

I wonder with getting the #1 OC the past 2 years, if one would move to OG to get the best 5 OL on the field at once(considering one of them was indeed one of the best and couldn't beat the other out)
