Miller Long Tossing, Will Be Ready for Season

Friday, Feb. 20

Quarterback guru George Whitfield talked about Miller's progress as he recovers from a shoulder injury, according to David Briggs of the Akron Blade:

"

Miller recently began throwing a football for the first time since undergoing surgery in August. Twice a week, he sends Whitfield video of his throwing sessions, which have advanced to include long toss.

Asked if Miller would be full strength by the start of fall camp in August — a timetable widely considered ambitious — Whitfield said, “Oh, yeah, that’s very realistic. When the summer hits, and those guys begin summer workouts [in June], he'll be 100 percent.”

“He's looking stronger, getting more and more fluid,” Whitfield said. “I just love the progress he's making.”

"

 Whitfield also told Briggs that Miller hadn't contemplated transferring.

Miller Updates Recovery Process

Sunday, Feb. 15

Miller revealed on Twitter Sunday evening that he's physically able to throw again:

Last year couldn't have gone much worse for the Buckeyes star. First, he got hurt. Then, J.T. Barrett emerged as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate in his absence, and finally Cardale Jones won a Big Ten championship and national title in a span of three starts.

Miller heads into 2015 unsure of his role on the team. Because of that, some speculated that he might pursue a transfer to another school. Bleacher Report's Ben Axelrod, however, wrote in January that Miller would be smart to stay at Ohio State and move away from quarterback.

No matter what he does in the coming months, what's clear is that Miller is working hard to make up for lost time and close out his college career on a high note.
