USJ wide receiver Ryan Miller commits to Furman University

Ryan Miller knew it was going to be an easy choice when it came down to ending his recruiting process.

With only five offers in hand, Miller didn’t have a lot of options.

On Monday night, the University School of Jackson senior wide receiver made his decision.

Miller announced on Twitter that he will be attending Furman University in South Carolina.

“They were the school that reached out to me the most, and they just kept pushing” Miller said. “I really love their coaching staff. They got a great coaching staff and it’s a great school. Good football program and good academics. I just love it and it’s where I want to go.”

Furman competes on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision.

Miller said he doesn’t know if he’s going to sign in December or February. He hasn’t given much thought to it, but he’s happy the process is over.

“I’m very happy and it’s good to get it out of the way so I can focus on the rest of my senior season and just have fun with it,” he said.

Miller, a two-star athlete according to 247Sports’ composite score, has been dynamic on the field this season. He leads the area with 60 receptions for 1,119 yards and has nine touchdowns.

He credits his father for helping him getting his name out on the recruiting trail and making the decision the easiest part of his recruitment.

“It wasn’t too hard. It was between Furman and Chattanooga,” Miller said. “It was just the obvious choice for me and where I fit in at the school. I just chose Furman.”
