Early years
Miller has a long history with football and family connections to the ISFL and DSFL. He is originally from Morgantown, West Virginia and always dreamed of playing for the Mountaineers. His uncle, Busch Light, played for the University of Alabama before being drafted by the London Royals 14th overall in season 23. He was then drafted to the New Orleans Second line in Season 24. He won one Ultimini with the London Royals, but did not do much with the Second line. Unfortunately, his uncle had to step back from the league before his potential was truly realized. Out of high school Miller Light was highly recruited. He played both sides of the ball at Morgantown, High School (wide receiver and free safety). His team won state his Junior year, but the team was plagued with injuries his senior year leaving a lot left unfinished. He was designated to the all-state team and was a five star recruit of high school. He took a scholarship from West Virginia University where he started on both sides of the ball.
College career
At West Virgnia, the team was not achieving the goals that Miller set out to achieve. He wanted a National Championship, and between poor quarterback play and high coaching turnover, he was not able to reach his true potential. When the transfer portal opened a number of teams reached out, but Vanderbilt was able to guarantee that he would start at Free Safety. From there he was able to hone his skills on the defensive side of the ball. He was always looking to making the big play, interceptions and the pick-six. Altogether, the environment was great, and it was beneficial playing against top tier talent in the SEC. His final year at Vanderbilt he led the SEC in interceptions and led the team in tackles and defensive touchdowns. Miller was never able to bring home a National Championship, but hopes to reach the Ultimini and Ultimus in the DSFL and ISFL.
