Ohio State is on the board in the 2029 recruiting class.

Elite California wide receiver Austin Miller committed to the Buckeyes on Monday. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton extended an offer to the 6-foot-5, 200-pound pass catcher earlier this month.

As a freshman at Bellflower High School, Miller caught 35 passes for 609 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 883 rushing yards and 13 scores on the ground. He also made an impact as a defensive back, recording 36 tackles, eight tackles for loss, four sacks, four pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble return touchdown.

The Miller File

  • Class: 2029
  • Size: 6-5/200
  • Pos: WR
  • School: Bellflower (Bellflower, California)

Miller chose Ohio State over more than 20 programs that already offered him, including Oregon, Michigan, USC, Florida State and Washington.

Miller is the first commitment in Ohio State’s 2029 class and the first pledge landed by Hankton since joining the Buckeyes this offseason. Hankton arrived in Columbus after Brian Hartline — widely regarded as one of the nation’s top recruiters — left Ohio State to become the head coach at USF.
