Not a bad looking prospect... I guess we are looking at two TE's in this class. Could be another guy like Ballard though. Starts at TE, but has the frame to fill out to a Tackle.

I am really liking this offer.

You can NEVER have enough big athletic kids. This is a great offer and from all accounts looks like a great student.

Let's get a verbal

This kid is a Coleman, Barton, Schaeffer, Ballard, Frost-type recruit. His level of athleticism and size will most likely determine what position he ends up at, but blufftonbuck is right...you can't have enough kids coming out of high school who are 6-6 250 lbs. and run under a 4.9. I am with cbf40...I like this offer.

Glad to see Andy get an offer, I never saw him play this year, but have read a good bit about him. Trinity High School is about 1 mile from my office. Here's some articles from the local paper.

Elite 11

Andrew Miller, TE/OL, Trinity

Division I offers continue to pile up for mammoth 6-7 tight end/lineman. Illinois, Indiana, Marshall, North Carolina State, Northwestern and West Virginia have made scholarship offers... Caught seven passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns... Used primarily as a run-blocker, serving as an extra lineman and helped lead the way for Ben Jennings, who led the WPIAL in rushing yards during the regular season... Some colleges looking to convert Miller to offensive tackle.

The Backyard Brawl means more than Big East supremacy; the game also impacts local recruiting.

West Virginia boasts 23 players from Pennsylvania, including 16 from the WPIAL or Pittsburgh City League. Count Mozes and Carmichaels graduate Bobby Hathaway among them.

Wannstedt wants to block the pipeline to Morgantown.

"West Virginia comes up here and recruits in Pennsylvania, they always have," Wannstedt said. "In my opinion, we don't have competition here or not much of it. The best players are going to come to Pitt."

One player being courted by both schools is Trinity senior Andy Miller. West Virginia already offered a scholarship and it's believed Pitt will soon follow.

Thanks to strong performances in the WPIAL Class AAAA football playoffs against Penn Hills and Mt. Lebanon, Andy Miller's recruitment is hitting a fever pitch.

According to Trinity football coach Ed Dalton, Pitt recently offered Miller a scholarship, brining the number of interested schools to seven.

Illinois, Indiana, Marshall, North Carolina State, Northwestern and West Virginia previously extended offers to Miller, an intriguing, 6-7 prospect who some schools like as a tight end and others see as an offensive tackle.

Dalton also said Penn State and Ohio State are increasing interest. Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Bradley is scheduled to drop in on a Trinity basketball game in the near future to see Miller.

"In a perfect world, we'd like to get this done before Christmas," Dalton said. "There's not many January visits for recruits because there's never anybody on campus but it's virtually impossible to get this in before then."

Before the 2005 season started, Miller said he'd favor Pitt if the Panthers offered.
