Wayne freshman already has scholarship offers
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
The scholarship offers are already coming for Braxton Miller, and the Wayne High School quarterback has three prep seasons to go.
In March, Miller visited the University of Cincinnati and attended a basketball game with some of the school's coaches. Then he was invited into head coach Brian Kelly's office.

"He smiled and said, 'I've got something for you,' " Miller said.
Miller said Kelly offered him a UC scholarship, and he has yet to finish his freshman year. Miller entered Wayne's opener against Colerain last season, played an impressive second half by completing 10 of 15 passes for 149 yards and kept the starter's job for the remainder of the year.
At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Miller played basketball for the Warriors, took a three-week break and has resumed his weight lifting and speed training for his sophomore season. Wayne coach Jay Minton has found it difficult to disguise his enthusiasm.
And good news, Ohio State fans. Miller, whose cousin Dee is a former OSU receiver, grew up supporting the Buckeyes.
"I never thought about getting a scholarship offer as a freshman," Miller said. "I'm going to get bigger and stronger, so I hope I can improve."
