Pryor Already Taking Braxton Under His Wing
By Brandon Castel
COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Braxton Miller was ready for the next step in his life, or so he thought.
After graduating early from Wayne High School in Huber Heights, where he was the big man on campus, Miller expected to step gracefully into his freshman year at Ohio State.
Instead, his foot landed awkwardly in a pile of snow.
?This is crazy man. I was just in high school the other day but now I?m in college,? said Miller, who enrolled early at Ohio State for winter quarter.
?It hasn?t hit me yet, really until football season starts. Right now I?m just getting the hang of things.?
That has proved to be a little more difficult than Miller anticipated.
After playing in the Under Armour All-American game in St. Petersburg, Fla. back on Jan. 5, Miller hopped a plane for Columbus. He was already late for the start of classes, and was in for a rude awakening when he got back.
?They had me in too many classes at first. I?m like, ?man come on dog,?? Miller said with a giant smile.
?They had me in five classes, I?m supposed to be in four or three.?
Miller immediately called his dad for advice on how to handle the situation, but part of college is learning not to rely solely on mom and dad for everything. That?s where Miller?s new teammates have come in, particularly senior Terrelle Pryor.
?He?s cool. He's a normal human being like everybody else,? Miller said on National Signing Day.
?I call him ?big bro,? he calls me ?little bro.? If I need anything I just ask him to come over and talk about it.?
