Former Ohio State QB Jack Miller III reportedly retires from college football
A former Ohio State quarterback has reportedly ended his college football career.
According to 247Sports, Jack Miller III, who spent the 2023 season at Florida, is no longer with the Gators program, and will not transfer to another college football team/
Miller graduated from Florida in the fall of 2023 after not making an appearance for the Gators this past season. Miller made his first collegiate start for Florida to end the 2022 season, completing 13 of 22 passes for 180 yards in Florida’s 30-3 loss to Oregon State in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Miller missed the 2022 regular season with an injury.
Miller was a four-star commitment in Ohio State’s 2020 class. He was one of two quarterbacks in the Buckeyes’ class along with four-star C.J. Stroud, who went on to become a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist and the No. 2 overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft.
In two seasons at Ohio State, Miller had one career touchdown — a 2-yard run in his first career college football game to cap off a 52-17 win against Nebraska Oct. 24, 2020. He completed seven of his 14 pass attempts for 101 yards. He also added 22 rushing yards on seven carries.
While at Ohio State, Miller was suspended after being arrested and charged with operating a vehicle while impaired.
Miller entered the transfer portal after the 2021 regular season.
Miller was the No. 13 pro-style quarterback and No. 334 player overall in the 2020 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

‘It stays with you forever,’ VFW extends support for Ohio servicemen killed overseas
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — For millions of veterans and active service members across Ohio, time stood still following a deadly refueling crash in Iraq that claimed the lives of six U.S. servicemembers.
Among those killed were Capt. Seth Koval of Fairfield County, Capt. Curtis Angst, and Master Sgt. Tyler Simmons of Columbus, assigned to the 121st Air Refueling Wing at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base.
They, along with three members of the 6th Air Refueling Wing from MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, were killed when a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq.
The base is deeply familiar to retired Army Colonel Rick Curry, a Quartermaster with Ohio’s Veterans of Foreign War.
“When you lose somebody under your command, it stays with you forever,” Curry told ABC 6 Thursday.
Master Sgt. Simmons. Simmons has several relatives a part of the Whitehall VFW chapter, according to VFW.
“They were shocked, his parents are devastated,” Curry said. “The young man looked like he had a promising career.”
As the community mourns, local VFW members are emphasizing their mission: ‘No one does more for Veterans.’
“You may not support the war, but you need to support the veterans,” Curry said. “We need to support the ones who are protecting us.”
The VFW is in the process of setting up a relief fund to directly assist the families of the fallen servicemen based in Ohio. The VFW was founded in 1899 in Columbus. It was established by veterans to secure rights and benefits for returning soldiers who lacked medical care and support.
ABC 6 asked Curry if he believed the support for veterans was strong enough in Central Ohio.
“We have many systems in place that support us, but some are better than others,” he responded. “We have a very good VA here in Columbus. The emotional support is never enough. Many veterans have seen or done a lot of things that they keep inside. And you just don’t have enough avenues sometimes.”
The Ohio Air National Guard confirmed the servicemen’s remains could be transferred back to Ohio within the next few weeks. Plans for a ceremony at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base are still being finalized.
