WVU Cornerback Ruled Out vs. Duquesne

The Mountaineers will be a man down in the secondary this week.

WVU head football coach Neal Brown announced on his radio show last night that cornerback Montre Miller will not play against Duquesne. Miller is dealing with an undisclosed injury and could miss significant time but will be re-evaluated next week.

Miller recorded three tackles in the loss to Penn State in a rotational role. Although he didn't start the game, Miller was expected to be a key contributor in the back end this season. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the fifth-best cornerback in the Big 12 behind only T.J. Tampa (Iowa State), Josh Newton (TCU), Eddie Heckard (BYU), and Malik Fleming (Houston).

Miller spent four seasons at Kent State and developed into a quality starter for the Golden Flashes over the past two seasons, recording a combined 100 tackles, three sacks, six interceptions, and 16 pass breakups while earning 2021 PFN’s First Team All-MAC honors.
