Braxton MillerIt looks like Ohio State got a good one.
Huber Heights Wayne High School quarterback Braxton Miller, ranked as the number one or two quarterback in the class of 2011, gave an oral commitment to OSU.
Doug Lesmerises, reporter for The Cleveland Plain Dealer, writes Miller is a quarterback in the same mold as the Buckeyes' Terrelle Pryor, and he is the leading candidate to take over when Pryor's time in Columbus ends.
ESPN's Craig Haubert is also going gaga over Miller, who he calls the most significant pickup at quarterback for the Ohio State in close to a decade.
While signing Terrelle Pryor, the current Buckeyes QB, in 2008 was huge, Pryor was coveted more for his overall freakish athleticism than his pure quarterbacking skills. Miller, who is a fine athlete in his own right and can bring dual-threat skills to the position, is more advanced as a passer and should allow Ohio State to do more in the passing game in the early stages than it could do with Pryor.
