Ohio State Lands Elite 6‑5 Underclass Wide Receiver Austin Miller

The early verbal pledge bolsters Ohio State’s 2029 recruiting effort by giving new receivers coach Cortez Hankton a high-profile target for the class.

Overview

  • Miller, who announced his verbal commitment on June 22, chose Ohio State over USC, Miami and Oregon after a June campus visit.
  • The 6-foot-5, 200-pound rising sophomore broke out as a freshman at Bellflower High with 35 catches for 609 yards and eight receiving TDs plus 883 rushing yards and 13 rushing TDs.
  • Miller also played defense as a freshman, logging 36 tackles, four sacks and a defensive touchdown, and drew roughly two dozen Power Five scholarship offers.
  • He met with head coach Ryan Day and receivers coach Cortez Hankton during the visit, and his pledge is Ohio State’s first commit in the 2029 cycle and the first receiver to pledge since Hankton’s January hire.
  • National recruiting services have not released 2029 rankings yet, so Miller’s official star rating is pending and his early commitment is likely to shape Ohio State’s class and future recruiting battles.
