4. Bodpegn Miller

Yes, another Ohio State player, but with Louisville striking out on Gilmore to Baylor, someone with a lot of potential and many years to develop is Ohio State transfer, Bodpegn Miller. The former 4-star recruit out of high school was a quarterback and defensive back at Ontario High School, but transitioned to wide receiver once he arrived at Ohio State.

He ranked as a unanimous 4-star recruit and as high as No. 227 in the nation and the No. 11-ranked athlete by 247 Sports. The Mansfield, Ohio, native earned over 16 offers out of high school, but committed to Ohio State over Iowa State, Boston College, and other Power Five programs. In high school, he earned 2,216 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns, while also rushing for almost 2,000 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior.

He has a high ceiling as a wide receiver with his impressive background, ranking No. 347 overall and No. 67 among wide receivers in the Transfer Portal. Miller and Lincoln Kienholz likely built some chemistry this past season during practice, and while it will be a developmental process, it could be worth a shot.
