BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OSU QB BRAXTON MILLER

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is no longer an Ohio State quarterback. Not because he’s transferring, but because he’s changing positions.

Miller told SI.com that he’ll be making the move from quarterback to a wide receiver/H-back.

“For the most part, it’s going to be H-Back and punt return,” Miller told Sports Illustrated. “It’s a long process to get back totally to throwing and throwing every day. This is the smarter thing for right now, God blessed me with a lot of talent and different opportunities. I’m going to have fun with that and still score a lot of touchdowns and help the team out and be dominant at that.”http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2015/07/23/ohio-states-braxton-miller-moves-from-quarterback-to-wide-receiver.html
