Football program officials proceeded over the past week with relative confidence that Mills did well enough in three classes at Garden City (Kansas) Community College this spring, but seeing the official transcript Monday must certainly have been a welcome development and a sigh of relief for head coach Scott Frost, running backs coach Ryan Held and the rest of the NU program.
Mills, after all, rushed for 1,358 yards and 19 touchdowns in 10 games as a sophomore last fall at GCCC and before that was the 2016 ACC Freshman of the Year in 2016 after rushing for 700-plus yards and 12 touchdowns for Georgia Tech.
