Trinity's Andrew Miller has gone from relative unknown to coveted recruit without letting it go to his head, despite a recruiting battle involving Indiana, Ohio State, Pitt and West Virginia.
The 6-foot-7, 265-pounder, a tight end projected by some to play tackle, said his college decision will be based not on his position but rather the people he will be playing for and with the next four or five years.
"Tight end is really the only position I have ever known, not that I wouldn't like tackle," Miller said. "I've also said throughout the process that, when it comes down to it, the position will not be the deciding factor."
Miller has visited Indiana, West Virginia and Ohio State and came away impressed with all three. He has an official visit to Pitt scheduled for Jan. 6, and hopes to make a decision shortly afterward.
"Hopefully, I can keep a level head and continue to look forward without the awes," said Miller, who has a 3.9989 grade-point average and scored 1,030 on the SAT. "I'm looking at the content and not the window dressing."
Springdale lineman Devin Cox is contemplating appointments from the West Point and U.S. Naval Academy and an offer from Division I-AA Liberty.
The 6-3, 275-pounder, an All-Class A selection by the Trib, is being recruited on both sides of the ball but believes his future might be in snapping it.
