Miller can't take the field for Ohio State until September of 2011, but 15 months ahead of schedule, he already has his OSU tattoo.
Huber Heights Wayne junior quarterback Braxton Miller announced his oral commitment to Ohio State this afternoon, but as his father, Kevin, said, "I think everybody already knew."
Ranked as the No. 1 or No. 2 quarterback recruit in his class, Miller, growing up 65 miles from Columbus, never wavered from the Buckeyes even as Florida made a late push into the mix. Miller had caps from five schools on a table for his announcement, and removed Notre Dame, Georgia and Alabama, leaving Florida and Ohio State. Miller then picked up the white Ohio State cap and placed it on his head.
Miller also could have rolled up his left sleeve and showed off the new Ohio State tattoo that it recently took two hours to put onto his upper arm. As Kevin Miller said, once the tattoo was done, the decision was made.
In this video, Miller shows off the tattoo. His choice won't becoming binding until National Signing Day next February, but ink may be even more serious than a letter of intent.
