Boom! The Ohio State football team just added a commitment from a young one, and if it holds true, it'll be another huge win for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. Elite 2029 wide receiver Austin Miller has given a verbal pledge to wear Scarlet and Gray.
Miller has just completed his freshman year of high school, but is already built like a grown man. He stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs 200 pounds, and certainly isn't done growing yet. The 2029 class doesn't have rankings just yet, but when they come out, Miller is expected to be the No. 1 overall recruit regardless of position.
Hailing from Bellflower, California, Miller made an immediate impact as a freshman, hauling in 35 passes for 609 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 883 rushing yards and another 13 scores on the ground. He also starred on the defensive side of the ball in the secondary, recording 36 tackles, eight tackles for loss, four sacks, four pass breakups, one forced fumble, and a fumble return touchdown.
Miller had many suitors, with Ohio State officially making a scholarship offer earlier this month. He chose the Buckeyes over Miami, Oregon, and USC.

There's a long way to go before this one would become official, and a lot can happen between now and then. But for now, fans can get a glimpse of what is to come by taking a look at Miller's freshman season highlights.
