In 2024, Miller started in 10 games for the Bulldogs and had 27 total tackles on the season, including 3.5 tackles for loss. He elected to come back for another season in 2025, and he certainly capitalized on that opportunity.

Played and started in all 13 games this past season. He racked up 20 tackles, 9 solo, 3.0 tackles for loss for 11 yards and 1.5 sacks.

Miller was one of the top players in his class coming out of high school. He was a four-star prospect, the 103rd ranked player in the country, the 15th-best defensive lineman and the 10th-best player in the state of Georgia for the 2022 class, according to 247 composite rankings.

According to nflmockdraftdatabase, Miller is projected to go in the 2nd round and is ranked as the 47th-best player in the class. There is a potential for Miller to become a first-round draft pick this year, especially if he has a strong performance at the combine on Thursday.

The NFL combine started on Monday and will conclude on Saturday. Combine events will begin on Thursday with defensive linemen, linebackers and special teamers getting the week kicked off.

The Bulldogs had ten total players invited to the combine this year. The combine started up earlier in the week and will continue until the end of the week. Georgia has not yet announced the date of their pro day, but is typically schedule for a couple of weeks after the NFL combine process.
