Scotty Miller - speedster for Bowling Green

[Jimmy Chitwood]

perhaps this thread belongs in the High School forum, because the athlete technically is still a high school senior. but ...

Scotty Miller (Barrington High, IL) is one of the fastest kids in America. on the track, he's run a wind-legal 10.53 100-meters (the #26 time in the USA this year) and a wind-legal 21.26 (#24 in the USA).

on the football field, he's every bit as explosive. here's a snippet from a profile on him.

He played nearly every down, starting at wide receiver and defensive back along with returning both kickoffs and punts.

And Miller was a danger to score from all those positions. He crossed the goal line 17 times this year while piling up 1,361 all-purpose yards.

Miller, who is 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds, had 40 receptions for 768 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Broncos also used him in running the football on jet sweeps to great effect, as he carried 14 times for 201 yards and 2 touchdowns.

On special teams, he was a danger as well. Despite teams trying to kick the ball away from him, he still returned the ball 17 times for 392 yards, scoring twice on a kickoff return and taking a punt back for a touchdown.

Defensively he was a beast as well.

Miller had 42 tackles while breaking up 16 passes. He had 1 interception which, of course, ended up as return for a touchdown.

despite all that, his only FBS offer came from Bowling Green. "weird," huh? especially since i thought all those bigger schools covet speed ...
