Former Ohio State Buckeyes star Braxton Miller had quite the journey during his collegiate campaign. He started as a quarterback for the Buckeyes in 2011. When Urban Meyer took over as coach in 2012, he was named the team's QB1 for the rest of the season before shifting to the H-back role in 2015.
To this date, Ohio State fans remember Miller for one of the best plays he showcased on the gridiron during his comeback campaign in 2015. After the Buckeyes won the national championship in the 2014-15 season, they began their defending campaign with a showdown against the Virginia Tech Hokies.
While there were doubts surrounding Miller's recovery after his serious shoulder injury, he left fans in awe with an incredible spin move to leave the Virginia Tech defense in shambles. He took a direct snap and ran to the left of the field before leaving Corey Marshall and Andrew Motuapuka dazed and confused with a video-game-worthy spin move to score a touchdown.
Watch a clip of Miller's highlight reel in the video shared on X/Twitter below:
Miller played the QB position for three seasons. However, after a season-ending injury during practice ahead of the 2014 season, he embraced the role of H-back. As a quarterback, Miller recorded a total of 5,295 passing yards and 52 passing touchdowns for the Buckeyes.
During the 2015 campaign, the Springfield, Ohio native tallied a total of 341 receiving yards and three touchdowns along with 260 rushing yards and one touchdown. However, the Buckeyes could not defend their national championship crown and finished the season with a 12-1 overall campaign. The Houston Texans subsequently drafted Miller with the No. 85 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
Braxton Miller gets inducted into Buckeyes Hall of Fame
Back in May this year, Miller announced that he was selected to be a part of the Buckeyes Hall Of Fame for the Class of 2024. He took to social media to share the news with his fans along with some highlight reels from his time with Ohio State.
"Blessed to be selected for the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2025.. Buckeye Nation, I'll love ya'll forever.. #GoBucks @OhioStateFB," Miller said on X.
Even former head coach Urban Meyer congratulated Miller, saying that he was "one of the best ever to wear the Scarlet and Gray":
While Braxton Miller failed to have much of an impact during his NFL career, he will forever be remembered by Ohio State fans for his spectacular collegiate journey with them.
