“Coach Jean-Mary gave me a call around 8 on Wednesday, and we were catching up,” Miller told The Michigan Insider. “Then, he told me I had earned the offer. I was super excited and couldn’t wait to share the good news with my family. I had already been to Michigan once with my brother when he was on a visit, and I loved it. So, to finally get that offer was a super cool feeling.”

This offer has made Michigan a key player in Miller’s recruitment, and his early positive impression of the program puts the Wolverines in a strong position. The linebacker mentioned how much he enjoyed his previous visit to Ann Arbor, which adds to the appeal of Michigan as he considers his future college options.

Miller, who boasts an impressive combination of size, speed, and football IQ, is regarded as one of the top linebackers in the 2026 class. Michigan is clearly looking to add him to their defensive corps, and the Wolverines’ track record of developing top defensive talent makes this offer all the more intriguing for the young prospect.

With Miller now holding an offer from Michigan, his recruitment will likely pick up even more momentum. However, the Wolverines appear to have made a strong impression, and Miller’s excitement about the program indicates that Michigan could be a serious contender as his decision-making process unfolds.

As Miller weighs his options, the Wolverines’ coaching staff will likely continue their pursuit of this elite linebacker, hoping to add his talents to their 2026 recruiting class.
