Best prospects I saw this weekend:

3 - Braxton Miller - Threw for 200 yards and a couple of touchdowns on a 15 of 24 passing night but with a little help from his receivers his totals would have been much better and Miller is likely topping off an incredible senior year with a state championship. There were three balls that were flat dropped that would have added about 60-80 yards to his total and likely another touchdown. Miller made one bad decision all night. It resulted in the only interception that he threw all night. I know the stats show 2 but the other came on a hail mary on the last play of the game. Miller dominated the game and showed he was why Wayne got this far.

The Future of Ohio State Football: Braxton Miller | Cleveland Ledger

By Justin Meiser. Published on 12/05/2010 - 12:22pm

It's not news that Huber Heights Wayne star QB, Braxton Miller will be Ohio State's next big QB. He announced months ago that he would be joining the Buckeyes following his graduation from Wayne. He has been hyped, but not to the extent that current Buckeyes QB, Terrelle Pryor was coming out of high school.

Pryor was literally the most coveted and highly rated player coming out of high school and he is continually hyped as a Heisman front-runner. The problem with Pryor is that he has never really produced or met the lofty expectations. Braxton Miller, while he's certainly not under the radar, isn't getting nearly the attention or respect that Pryor did coming out of high school. Miller is currently ranked as the #2 QB prospect by ESPN and the #25 overall player.

Miller verbally committed to Ohio State, but he also seriously considered Florida, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgi, and USC. For anyone who missed it, Miller and Huber Heights Wayne played in an epic matchup against Cleveland?s St. Edwards in the Division 1 State Championship game last night. This was my first real look at Miller other than random highlights. But I watched the entire game and was able to see him in the flow of the game, how he dealt with adversity, and how he handled himself on the field and with his team.

5 foot 11 and 175, I don't think so.

Laughable. Maybe the reporter should actually interview the kid on the field, lockerroom or at least stand near him on the sidelines.

He's clearly 6-2, give or take a few fractions of an inch. But for this writer's benefit:

Wow, there's 12.5 seconds of my life I'll never get back, scanned the first few paragraphs, and closed the link.

I've had the opportunity to see Miller in the playoffs, the last couple of weeks, as well as a few times earlier in the year. The kid has it all. Considering he is a HSer, his ceiling is extremely high. He already shows some ability to read defenses, and checks down. I saw him look a safety off a few times. Athletically, he has it all, quick feet, good speed and vision. As a passer, he seems to be able to make all of the throws, he obviously has a cannon, but also shows the abilty to put touch on the ball. He throws a good ball to receivers coming out of the backfield, as they can just catch it and get their eyes upfield quickly.

This young man is going to look great in the S&G

probably old numbers.

He's not using old numbers. He's trying to guess his height from the stands, which is pretty difficult (I'm not great at estimating height either from a distance).

He was 6'1"+ two spring games ago.

my point was it doesnt really matter... if hes 5-6 hes 5-6, if hes 6-7 well hell have a nickname like big miami valley or something.... height is what it is, the staff feels like he has the measurables to warrant a scholarship, so be it. all the talk about this guy, or that guy, or you have to be so tall only goes so far, hes clearly at a height that he could potentially play on sundays. long story short, height isnt like big boobs, you cant buy it...



back to barxton, his great game/season, and his bright future.

Strongest arm

What we look for: The ability to make spectacular throws into tight spots with arm strength alone. These players display the skills to drive the ball vertically with power and are able to consistently throw the deep comeback route to the sideline from the opposite wide hash.

Braxton Miller (Huber Heights, Ohio/Wayne)
Miller is a stronger-armed Pat White in terms of skill set. He is a dual-threat, but could stand in the pocket and make every throw on the field including deep out cuts from the opposite hash mark. The Ohio State commit shows tremendous rpms on the ball when his feet are set and can fit the ball into tight spots in coverage.

Best dual-threat skills

What we look for: These prospects can be every bit as dangerous with their legs and overall athleticism as they can be with their arm. Often times at this stage, dual-threat QBs are better athletes than passers.

Braxton Miller
The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder is explosive, shifty and has some strength as a runner as well. He is one of the few dual-threat guys that is not behind in the passing game, which is why he is so dangerous. He has the arm to make difficult throws on the move when out of the pocket and is a dynamic runner.

After seeing clips from the St. Eds game, I think Brax is good a runner as there has been in a while. The kid can fly, make you miss, you name it. Oh yeah, he's got a rocket launcher for a arm. It's like snapping the ball to Percy Harvin, but unlike Russell Sheperd he can throw it.

Our stable of QBs is gettin' pretty deep IMO.
