After starting this three-part series with the story of C.J. Stroud, the second installment of “Ohio State’s Next Great Quarterback?” focuses on the Buckeyes’ other second-year quarterback, Jack Miller.
Before Jack Miller even entered his sophomore year of high school, it appeared likely he would one day be competing for Ohio State’s starting quarterback job.
By then, Miller had already started to emerge as one of the top quarterbacks in the recruiting class of 2020, and Ohio State was always viewed as the frontrunner to land him. Miller had interest in the Buckeyes from the beginning of his recruitment, in part because he got to know then-Ohio State coach Urban Meyer when the Buckeyes stayed at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess – the Arizona resort where his father is the general manager and his family lives – during its 2016 trip to the Fiesta Bowl.
