Jack Miller entered his name in the transfer portal shortly after the regular season ended and has announced that he will be heading to Gainsville to join the Florida Gators. Miller spent two seasons with Ohio State as a backup.
Miller had nothing but good things to say about his time in Columbus but ultimately felt like it was “time to get on the field.” It probably wasn’t that C.J. Stroud faired so well as the starter this season that moved Miller to move on. However, the fact that freshman Kyle McCord passed him as QB2 most likely did, as Miller saw himself buried on the depth chart.
Miller came to Ohio State from Scottsdale, Arizona as a four-star prospect and was ranked as the No. 13 pro-style quarterback in the 2020 recruiting class. The tools are there to be a very productive QB if given a chance. The room was just too full in the Buckeye locker room.

Miller will compete with Anthony Richardson at Florida, who was the No. 9 ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2020 class. Emory Jones, once an Ohio State commit, started all but one game for the Gators this past season, has announced he will be transferring after the Gasparilla Bowl on Dec. 23.
Miller should have every opportunity to impress new head coach Billy Napier and win the starting job at Florida.
