Cameron Miller Enters Transfer Portal

Tennessee Volunteers safety Cameron Miller has left the program and entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.
In this story:

Former Tennessee Volunteers safety Cameron Miller entered the transfer portal on Monday morning. Miller was a three-star 2022 signee that initially came into the program as a wide receiver, but quickly made the transition to safety.

He drew the attention of several major programs during his high school days and should get some major interest at receiver from other programs. Miller spoke with Volunteer Country in February 2021 about what separates him and why he expected to be successful in college.

"The thing that sets me apart is I am just a go-get-it type of guy. I'm the one that's trying to go get it done in any way I can," he said on what sets his game apart from others. "I try my best to go get a jump ball; most likely, I'm going to win that jump ball. That's how I put my mind to any jump ball, basically. So they just like the way I can run. I'm six-two, and I can run, I got good hands, and I got a good reach where I'm able to catch the ball and make plays on my own in space."

Several schools were in the race for his services including, Memphis, Mississippi State, Florida, and Alabama, among others.

"I love Memphis that just my hometown area, where I'm from, and also where my dad went to school. It's always a big honor to be offered somewhere where you're at. They're just recruiting very hard. They're trying their best (to keep me home.) I'm talking to them almost every day," he said on the hometown Tigers.

Mississippi State is a receiver friendly offense, something that Miller has taken notice of, while they have recruited him hard.

"Dave Emerick, and Steve Spurrier, the receiver coach, I talk to them a lot. They are recruiting me very hard and trying to get me to come up there whenever the chance that I can come up there. It's been a good time and experience getting recruited by them," he said on the Bulldogs. "That's special for a receiver. You know you are probably going to get the ball 2-3 times or even more in a game because they are going to throw the ball 40-50 times. As a receiver, you should be happy about the system and the play calls when the air-raid comes in."
