Miller has played in Florida throughout his three-year collegiate career, with this past season spent at Florida Atlantic after the two prior at Florida State. He has averaged 8.5 points (47.1% FG), 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game, in 82 games played with 68 starts for the Owls and Seminoles. Miller had a career-best season this past year as a junior at 11.3 points (48.6% FG), 7.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.7 blocks for FAU, which earned him a selection as Second Team All-AAC. He has also previously tested for the NBA Draft, before returning to college, in 2023 and 2024.

Miller, a native of Mallorca, came from overseas as a Top 200 recruit and a three-star in the 2022 cycle. He also rated just outside the Top 30 at power forward in the class. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Now, in his second transfer in as many offseasons, Miller was one of the top players still available in the portal. He, per the latest update to On3’s Industry Ranking of 2025’s Top Transfer Portal Players, ranked at No. 106 and as a Top-20 PF.

Miller is now the latest portal transaction for Cincinnati. The Bearcats had lost nine transfers to the portal with Dillon Mitchell (St. John’s), Tyler Betsey (Syracuse), Dan Skillings (Baylor), Josh Reed (Penn State), and Arrinten Page (Northwestern) having committed. Transfers Connor Hickman, Rayvon Griffith, JJ Rembert, and CJ Anthony remain uncommitted.

Cincy has, in turn, added six players now with Miller joining Moustapha Thiam (UCF), Jalen Haynes (George Mason), Sencire Harris (West Virginia), Jalen Celestine (Baylor), and Kerr Kriisa (Kentucky). Miller is the second-best addition in that class behind only Thiam, the No. 1 transfer center per On3, with those two giving their frontcourt a pair of very tall options inside.
