A Dayton, Ohio, native and Wayne High School graduate, Miller was the No. 30 overall prospect and No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the 2011 class, according to the 247Sports composite. He committed to Ohio State over Alabama, Florida, Notre Dame, USC and seven other schools.
At Ohio State, Miller became one of the most electrifying players in college football as soon as his freshman year. A 10-game starter in his first season, he recorded 1,159 yards, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions as a passer and added another 715 yards and seven scores as a runner.
Over the next two seasons, Miller became a two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, throwing for 4,133 yards, 39 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while running for 2,339 yards and 25 scores. Miller led Ohio State to an undefeated 12-0 season in 2012 (the NCAA banned the Buckeyes from postseason competition as a result of “Tattoogate”) and a 12-2 season in 2013.
In the final game of Ohio State’s 2013 season – a 40-35 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl – Miller suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery. He later tore the labrum of the same shoulder in practice and took a medical redshirt for the 2014 season. Then-head coach Urban Meyer turned to J.T. Barrett to lead the offense. When Barrett broke his ankle in The Game that year, Cardale Jones took over and led the Buckeyes to three historic wins over Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon to win the national title.
In Miller’s final season at Ohio State, he did not return to quarterback due to complications with his throwing shoulder. Instead, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound athlete moved to wide receiver (or H-back). Miller shined there, too, collecting 601 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns. He averaged 8.8 yards per touch.
After his college career ended, Miller became the Houston Texans’ third-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft. In two seasons with the franchise, Miller caught 34 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns.

A family in Ohio has been indicted for murder after the body of a 20-year-old man was found in a burnt vehicle.
Sarah Haning, Randy Haning and Beverly Haning have been charged in the death of 20-year-old Ethan Vernon, Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley said on Thursday. On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted the three members on charges that include murder, arson and gross abuse of a corpse.
Vernon was found dead in his burnt truck on Dec. 12, 2025, along Hemlock Grove Road in Bedford Township in Meigs County. Stanley said in the news release that the 20-year-old man was last seen on Dec. 11, 2025.
The prosecuting attorney said the indictment was handed down after an “extensive investigation.” Twenty-four-year-old Sarah Haning was indicted on 49 counts, 65-year-old Randy Haning on 11 counts and 63-year-old Beverly Haning on nine counts. All three family members are from Athens. The relationship between the victim and the three suspects was not immediately released. Vernon’s cause of death was also not immediately released.
In a Facebook post, Meigs County Sheriff Scott Fitch said the three suspects were arrested on Wednesday after law enforcement served a search warrant at a home on Pleasanton Road in Athens County.
“This investigation has been a lengthy and complex effort, and today’s arrests are the result of countless hours of work by our detectives,” Fitch said in the post on Facebook. “While these arrests mark a significant milestone, the investigation remains active, and we will continue to pursue every available lead to ensure justice is served for Ethan Vernon and his family.”
Anyone with any information on the case can call the sheriff’s tip line at 740-992-4682.
“Additional information will be released as it becomes available and as the investigation permits,” Fitch added.
A West Price Hill man is accused of punching an Ohio assistant attorney general after asking her for money, according to arrest documents and officials.
Jermaine Johnson, 50, is charged with misdemeanor assault after Cincinnati police say he punched Kathleen Fischer in the face July 1, according to court records.
Fischer was injured in the attack but was not hospitalized, arrest documents show.
Fischer is a senior assistant attorney general in the consumer protection section of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. She spent more than a decade as an assistant prosecuting attorney in the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office before taking on her new role in 2025.
Fischer is also the daughter of Ohio Supreme Court Justice Pat Fischer, who hails from Fort Thomas.
Arrest documents list Fischer as the victim of the attack. An attorney general’s office spokesman and Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman also confirmed Fischer was the victim of the attack.
Fischer told police she was walking on Sycamore Street outside the prosecutor’s office around 4:30 p.m. when she ran into Johnson, arrest documents show. Johnson asked Fischer for money and as she continued to walk away, he punched her in the face, documents state.
A Cincinnati police officer then found Johnson two blocks away shortly after.
Johnson gave police a “conflicting statement” but told officers he may have accidentally hit her.
Johnson is also charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, court records show. Police say they found a glass pipe on Johnson while he was being arrested.
Johnson is expected to be arraigned in Hamilton County Municipal Court at 12:30 p.m., according to court records. He remains in custody at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
This report will be updated.
