The Miller File
Breakdown from Auburn Live’s Cole Pinkston:
- Miller has a high athletic upside. He can move well for his size and length. I think there is plenty to like and to work with. For now, he’s a bit too raw. Not too raw to be ready to roll in 2023 after some refining, however.
- Miller has decent hips. He has enough flexibility to play at tackle, but seems to be a stronger run blocker than pass blocker. He plays with some aggression in the run game while lacking some of the leverage and power it takes. Still, with a good punch and get-off, he wins his one-on-ones most of the time.
SEC readiness
Auburn needed SEC-ready offensive tackles, and Miller is a guy who is very close to that. He’s as close to being ready to play as any offensive lineman currently committed
Miller’s athleticism gives him a chance early on. He can raise his stock with some work in the weight room and with his feet. When it all catches up, I think he is competing for a starting job at Auburn.
