Jaylen Ellis forecasts Colorado teammate Omarion Miller to become college football’s best WR

Jaylen Ellis predicts that Omarion Miller will become the best WR in college football

Omarion Miller’s immense talent became known to everyone in Colorado football’s Week 5 loss against USC last season. While leading a furious second-half rally, the true freshman made several improbable catches and finished with 196 receiving yards.

Although he caught only four more passes in the Buffs’ final seven games, Miller’s teammates have confidence that he’ll grow into a solidified star.

Jaylen Ellis, a fellow Colorado wide receiver who saw most of his action last season on special teams, gave some high praise to Miller on Friday. In a quote tweet, Ellis tabbed Xavier Weaver (Zay) as one of the best wide receivers he’s been around and added that Miller is “gonna be the best WR in CFB.”

Based on what we saw last September, Miller certainly has the skills to reach Ellis’ expectations. However, he’ll have to compete for playing time in a Colorado wide receivers room that has added transfers Will Sheppard, LaJohntay Wester, Cordale Russell and Terrell Timmons Jr. this offseason.

Former Baylor WR Jaylen Ellis flips commitment from West Virginia to Colorado

Big-play transfer WR Jaylen Ellis is coming to Colorado

Colorado’s wide receiver room picked up another big piece on Saturday evening with Baylor transfer Jaylen Ellis flipping his commitment from West Virginia to the Buffs.

Ellis left Baylor for the portal on April 18, gave his pledge to West Virginia one week later and is set to join head coach Deion Sanders in Boulder.

Throughout his four years at Baylor, Ellis struggled to stay healthy and only appeared in 16 games for the Bears. Last season, he caught three passes for at least 47 yards each, one of which resulted in a touchdown against Texas.

Colorado previously offered Ellis when he was a prospect at Cedar Ridge High School in Texas.
