Last Thursday NC State hosted one of their top 2016 Linebacker targets Brock Miller for a visit.  Miller has been planning on making his decision by the end of July.  I caught up with him last night to see how the visit went, and to find out when exactly he will be making his college decision.

This past Thursday was Miller’s third time visiting NC State, but this time he got to see more than ever before.

“The visit went really well.  It was my third time.  The 1st time was at a camp last year.  I came back after they offered me, in March I want to say.  That was kind of a last minute decision,” said Miller.  “We went down that weekend and hit up all the North Carolina schools.  When we went it snowed, and it was kind of hard to see at night.  Going back this time I was able to see everything football related, and I got to see the campus, which I didn’t get to see before.  Obviously, I got to see the new Indoor facility.  I’ve seen a lot of indoor facilities, and it was the nicest I’ve walked into.”

While he was there, the NC State coaching staff tried to help him see that he possessed the versatility necessary to stay on the field in their defensive schemes.

“I got to sit down and talk to the defensive coaches for awhile.  I got to sit down with Coach Huxtable for awhile.  I even got to sit in a linebackers meeting and watch them breakdown film from the Spring.  That was cool to take in first-hand.  I also got to sit down and talk with Coach Doeren,” said Miller.  “They told me that they were a football program on the rise.  They know that I’m looking at some other ACC schools as well, and they said they were on the harder side of the conference, and play the best teams every year.  They explained the whole defensive scheme to me, and how I would fit into it.  They showed me all the different ways they could use me, which would open up a lot of opportunities.  No matter what formation they would be running, they showed me that I could be a player that could move around, and pretty much stay on the field.”

Miller said that his head coach gives him an even stronger connection with the NC State coaches, because he has been good friends with Coach Doeren for the past 10-12 years.

“My head coach now, from my home school, is actually good friends with Coach Doeren, and has known him for 10-12 years.  It’s obviously good to hear what Coach Doeren has to say, but to hear my head coach confirm those things as true is really good to hear as well,” said Miller.  “It’s good to know he’s exactly what he says he is.  My coach has helped me out a lot along the way.  He started talking to Coach Doeren about me after I went to summer camp there.  He really started hammering him after the season, and then after that they jumped on board.”

It has been known that the 3-star prospect wants to decide before the end of July, but he helped clarify exactly when he will be deciding.

“I’ve been talking to our local newspaper for awhile and they want to do something big for me, and I think that will happen on Thursday or Friday.” said Miller
