Miller has offers from Ohio State, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin and several others. The 6-foot-2 185-pounder was named the outstanding quarterback at the Score 6 camp, winning the long-ball competition with a throw that reportedly went 73 yards. He also won the fastest man award with a 40-yard dash time of 4.47.
Miller hasn't been offered a scholarship by Kentucky yet, but he told the Danville Advocate-Messenger that he plans to attend a UK home game this fall.
Kevin Miller believes him.
"My experience with coach Tressel is he's genuine, he's straight up and he's going to let you know what it's all about," Miller said. "They run a heck of a program up there."
Miller's opinion counts more than most because he is the father of Braxton Miller, who is preparing for his junior season at Wayne High School in Huber Heights and perhaps is the next great quarterback to rise from Ohio.
Since the beginning of his sophomore season, Braxton Miller, nephew of former OSU receiver Dee Miller, has been harvesting informal scholarship offers, including some from OSU, Cincinnati and the University of Miami.
He doesn't look like Pryor or Graham, being 6-2, 192 pounds. Even though last month he ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at Michigan's summer camp, he's considered a passer who can dabble with the run.
"We're not looking for a program where they're going to run him all the time," Kevin Miller said. "It's always good to be able to use your feet as far as getting away from pressure, but not mainly to just run the option or things like that. He's a thrower first."
When Tressel goes looking for a QB, there is only a faint physical blueprint in his mind.
"I think first of all you are looking for a presence," Tressel said. "Certainly you have to be able to deliver the football; there are certain fundamental things you have to be able to do, like get away from the center, get rid of the football, have a concept of what's going on out there.
"Usually between the combination of film -- though you don't know what they were taught -- and getting to see them live a little bit in your own camp, which is why camps are a neat thing, you can get a pretty judge of what they might be able to do for you."
And vice versa.
"We're not a systemic group," Tressel said of his coaching staff. "Like some teams might say, for example, 'We're a wing-T team, and you if you can't run the wing-T, you can't play here.' We're not that way.
"We want to get the best person who is the best athlete who shows us the things they can do, and we're going to build the team around those things."
He also won the fastest man award with a 40-yard dash time of 4.47.
