Miller was rated as a four-star recruit and was ranked as the No. 51 wide receiver in the class of 2023. The Vivian, Louisiana product signed with Buffaloes and “Coach Prime” out of high school.

The Buffaloes wide receiver room last season was loaded. With the departure of the team’s four leading receivers from 2024; Travis Hunter, LaJohntay Wester, Will Sheppard, and Jimmy Horn Jr., it has opened the door for Miller to be the Buffaloes leading receiving in 2025.

Omarion Miller Jumps Up Players Rankings

Miller was ranked as the third highest riser in Clark Brooks’s On3 player impact rankings with the jump from No. Wide receiver 85 to No. 55.

“Strong and able to hold his own outside the numbers, he’s 1/15 WRs with an average depth of target over 14.0 to yards after catch average of at least 6.8,” Brooks said. “Despite a wonky QB situation in Boulder his 2.73 yards per route run is just inside P4’s top 10, and his 11.8 yards per target just missed the top 12.”

Brooks also mentioned a fascinating fact; the only Power Four conference wide receivers to have more touchdown receptions than Miller’s three the past two weeks is Amare Thomas of the Houston Cougars with four.

The two players that jumped high up than Miller was Oregon Ducks defensive lineman Bear Alexander and West Virginia Mountaineers linebacker Reid Carrico. Alexander went from the No. 22 interior defender to No. 11. Carrico went from the No. 48 linebacker to No. 31.

The Buffaloes 2025 season has been dissapoitning. At 3-7, they win not be bowl eligible following their nine-win 2024 season. Colorado will still aim to finish on a high note in their remaining two games. They turned to freshman quarterback Julian Lewis against West Virginia and he showed promise. Each rep he take in game will be helpful as the 2026 season nears.

The Buffs now enter their final bye week of the season.
