Recent Colorado signee flips transfer pledge to UCF

Carter Miller’s time in Boulder was short-lived

Colorado football’s offensive line room looks a bit different now than it did only 24 hours ago.

Soon after Louisiana Tech transfer OL Zarian McGill announced his commitment to the Buffs on Sunday morning, news dropped that Colorado had lost recent signee Carter Miller. The UCF Knights announced Miller as a transfer portal signee on Monday.

The 6-foot-2, 300-pound Miller was committed to Colorado for about three weeks.

Fortunately for the Buffs, McGill is coming off a considerably better 2024 season compared to Miller. Here’s what Adam Munsterteiger of BuffStampede wrote on the two offensive linemen:

According to Pro Football Focus, the Buffs are getting an upgrade, at least based on 2024 performance. Miller graded out at 58.5 over 714 offensive snaps. McGill graded out at 69.9 over 429 offensive snaps. Both played at center this past season.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has yet to announce a replacement for former offensive line coach Phil Loadholt, who was hired by Mississippi State late last month.

Coach Prime lands first commitment of new transfer portal cycle

Colorado has landed its first commitment of the new transfer portal cycle

It didn’t take Carter Miller long to find a new home in the college football transfer portal.

Only six days after entering the portal on Dec. 9, the former Louisiana-Monroe interior offensive lineman announced his commitment to Colorado on Sunday. Miller marks coach Deion Sanders’ first transfer pickup since the portal opened last week.

Listed at 6 feet, 2 inches and 300 pounds, Miller joins the Buffs with three years of college experience. The Fort Worth, Texas, native began his career at James Madison, where he redshirted in 2022 before starting eight games at left guard in 2023.

This past season at Louisiana-Monroe, he started 12 games at center and received a 76.7 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

It’s still early in the new transfer portal cycle, but Miller may fill one of the guard spots in Boulder. True freshman walk-on Cash Cleveland thrived as Colorado’s starting center this past season after taking over for sophomore Hank Zilinskas midway through the year.

MSU football to host Sun Belt offensive line transfer on visit

ULM offensive line transfer to visit Michigan State next week

It is no secret that Michigan State is heavily in the market for massive upgrades on the offensive line. The Spartans have found their latest prospect to add to the recruiting board.

Carter Miller, an interior offensive line transfer from Louisiana-Monroe, has received an offer and is slated to visit Michigan State next week.

According to PFF, as a center with the Warhawks, Miller graded mediocre as a run blocker but was an excellent pass blocker in 2024. Prior to his time at ULM, Miller played at James Madison.

Miller will be visiting Colorado prior to his trip to East Lansing.
