QB Miller announces transfer from OSU

- Joey Kaufman

Redshirt freshman quarterbac­k Jack Miller announced on Sunday that he will transfer from Ohio State.

He shared the news of his departure in a post on Twitter.

“I will always love my brothers and my coaches and wish them great success,” Miller wrote, “but for me it is time to get on the field. The coaches have prepared me to face the future head on and with confidence. I will always be thankful for the time they spent with me.”

Miller has served as the Buckeyes' third-string quarterbac­k this season after competing for the starting job in training camp, a spot atop the depth chart that ultimately went to C.J. Stroud.

Filling in for four games as a reserve, Miller completed 7 of 14 passes for 101 yards.

But he had not made an appearance since he was suspended earlier this month following an arrest on suspicion of operating a vehicle while impaired.

After pleading guilty to a reduced charge of reckless operation on Nov. 18, he was reinstated to the team, but he did not see the field against Michigan State later that week. Freshman Quinn Ewers instead followed backup Kyle Mccord in the rotation late in the blowout victory over the Spartans, indicating that Miller had fallen on the depth chart.
