Omarion Miller is an American football wide receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes.[1]

Early years

Miller attended North Caddo High School in Vivian, Louisiana. He was a wide receiver for the football team, averaging 116.4 receiving yards per game and tallying a total of 3,492 receiving yards and 43 touchdowns in 30 games.[1] He was also a star in basketball and was named 2022 Male Athlete of the Year by the Shreveport Times.[2][3] He initially committed to LSU, but flipped to Nebraska in July 2022,[4] and finally signed with Colorado after Deion Sanders was hired as the head coach.

Colorado

Against USC on September 30, 2023, Miller made his first collegiate reception for a gain of 65 yards. He followed up with his first touchdown reception later in the same game. He tallied a total of seven catches for 196 yards in the game.[5][6] Miller's 196 receiving yards broke the Colorado single-game record for a freshman. The Denver Gazette wrote that "a star was born in the form of Miller" and described the game as Miller's "coming out party".[7]
