He played at Scottsdale Community College and left to finish his college career at Southern Utah (2007-2008). Miller set an SUU record with 41 kickoff returns for 914 yards. He also finished second on the team in receptions and receiving yards, with 35 catches for 435 yards and a touchdown. As a senior in 2008, Miller was named Great West Conference Special Teams Player of the Year and caught 55 passes for 763 yards and three touchdowns.
