Despite growing speculation that injured Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Braxton Miller may be without a starting job if he returns to Columbus next season, it doesn't appear that Miller has been seeking out possible transfer options as previously had been rumored.
With JT Barrett lighting the world on fire for the Buckeyes in 2014, rumors surfaced recently linking Miller to Auburn, Boston College, and the most pervasive rumor of all, Oregon.
However, it appears that at the very least Miller hasn't had any contact with the folks in Eugene.
Here's John Taylor of NBC's College Football Talk with the report:
According to The Oregonian, and citing a source with knowledge of the situation, “[t]here has been no contact between Oregon and either Miller or anyone acting on his behalf.” Leading up to the paper knocking down the talk, there was a rumor making the rounds that Miller had let it be known to the UO football program that he had an interest in the school and offensive coordinator Scott Frost followed up on that interest during a recruiting trek a couple of weeks ago. One of the problems with that, the paper notes, is that Frost wasn’t on the recruiting trail at that time.
Just over a week ago, NFL.com reported that Miller's plan is to "remain at Ohio State and lead the Buckeyes in 2015.” As of right now, those plans seem to still be in place.
