2026: Miller, who broke onto the scene and earned national recognition as USC’s showcase back after injuries plagued the running back room, returns as a redshirt sophomore in 2026. He was placed on scholarship following the 2025 season.
2025: Miller had a stellar debut in 2025 and made national headlines as America’s most recognized walk-on. He rushed for 972 yards on 156 carries (6.2 avg.) with 8 TDs while appearing in all 13 games with 7 starts. He also recorded a success two-point conversion and tallied 16 receptions for 11 yards. On special team, he served as a kick returner, collecting 2 returns for 45 yards (22.5 avg.) with a long of 25. He was named a 2025 All-Big Ten Honorable Mention and was selected to The Athletic Freshman All-American Second Team. Miller was a Burlsworth Trophy Semifinalist, and he was also honored throughout the season as the Big Ten Freshman Player of the Week, Burlsworth Trophy Walk-On of the Week, Paul Hornung National Player of the Week and Shaun Alexander Freshman Player of the Week.
He rushed for 80 yards on 4 carries with 1 TD (his first collegiate TD) versus Missouri State. During his TD play, his twin brother, OL Kaylon Miller was on the field for the Trojans on the offensive line blocking for his brother. Miller recorded 3 carries for 55 yards and 1 TD against Georgia Southern. He tallied 4 carries for 17 yards and 1 reception for 7 yards versus Purdue. Against Illinois, he recorded 2 receptions for 6 yards. In his breakout game against Michigan, Miller rushed for a single-game career-best 158 yards on 18 carries with 1 TD. He also had 2 receptions for 14 yards and returned two kickoffs for 45 yards. He finished with 217 all-purpose yards, and he was honored as the Big Ten Freshman Player of the Week, Burlsworth Trophy Walk-On of the Week, Paul Hornung National Player of the Week and Shaun Alexander Freshman Player of the Week for his performance. His 158 rushing yards were believed to be the most rushing yards by a Trojan walk-on since at least the 1970s and were the most rushing yards by a USC running back versus a ranked opponent since 2017 (Ronald Jones II, 194 versus No. 23 Arizona). In Week 7, Miller led the Big Ten in yards per attempt (8.8) and yards after contact (98). Miller was the first USC walk-on to score a TD since TB Jess Holguin scored on a 7-yard run versus California in 1994 (61-0 win). He recorded 18 carries for 70 yards and 2 receptions for 14 yards versus Notre Dame. Miller tallied 18 carries for 129 yards with 1 TD and recorded a successful two-point conversion against Nebraska. He rushed for 127 yards on 15 carries with 1 TD and has 2 receptions for 3 yards versus Northwestern. He tallied 19 carries for 83 yards against Iowa, and he collected 15 carries for 30 yards and 3 receptions for 10 yards versus Oregon. He rushed for 124 yards on 17 carries with 2 TDs and had 4 receptions for 42 yards against UCLA. Miller recorded a career-high 25 carries for 99 yards and 1 TD with 1 reception for 15 yards in the Alamo Bowl versus TCU.
2024: Miller did not see action as a true freshman in 2024.
HIGH SCHOOL: As a junior in 2022, he rushed for 1,587 yards on 221 carries with 10 TDs. He also caught 3 passes for 52 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, he recorded 5 tackles, 1 INT, and 3 PBUs.
As a sophomore in 2021, he rushed for 152 yards on 18 carries with 1 TD.
PERSONAL: He is majoring in Communication at USC. His twin brother, Kaylon, is an offensive lineman on the USC football team. His cousin, Olaijah Griffin, played cornerback for the Trojans from 2018-20. His uncles are legendary music mogul and entrepreneur Dr. Dre (Andre Young) and rapper and hip-hop producer Warren G. Young, alongside Jimmy Iovine, endowed the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation housed in Iovine and Young Hall on USC’s Campus. He was named “King” because he was born on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
