Agreed. If you take the time to look at his film you'll see a QB who can throw, is accurate and will fit in nicely in the QB room and learn from McCord and Coach Nunzio.
I was a walk on wayyyy back when Floyd was a freshman. I came from NJ was an All - State QB, but none of the schools recruiting me had the major I wanted. So, I came to Syracuse, walked down Comstock to Manley into the freshman, (Jim Shreve), coaches office told him I wanted to play. He told me to stand on one foot which I did for about 3 minutes then told me to go to Al Zak and get my stuff.
To make a long story short I became good friends with Floyd Little - (we both ran the same 9.7 100 yard dash, I was NJ State Champion 100 & 200 YD that year), every day at the end of practice we ran sprints - Floyd and I had fun but other players were telling us to slow down. After warming up with Ted Holman, the first string QB, they found I could throw the ball as hard, as tightly spiraled, as long and accurately as he could.
The first play they had me run to see if I could catch, was a go route down the right side line against an All-American D Back from Ohio. Juke stepped him at the snap and burned him for a long TD. Shreve went nuts when he saw that. But they gave me a scholie. AJ is getting the royal treatment from coach Nixon. I saw about six assistant and three head coaches from other schools who recruited and offered me but I never saw a Syracuse coach until I got into the SU locker room.
The point is that it's your confidence in you that matters. You know what you can do and have goals
for yourself. If you believe you can, you will succeed in sports and in life. I think the coaches saw AJ Miller and saw how accurate he was, how far and how well he could throw the ball, among other things and believed he would be a positive addition to the team. Good luck to him and to us this coming year under HCFB.
