Veteran Big Ten Cornerback Transfers to Rutgers
7 Aug
Summary
- Cam Miller transfers from Penn State to Rutgers
- Brings valuable experience to Scarlet Knights' secondary
- Wanted to stay in the Big Ten conference
In a move that strengthens Rutgers' secondary, Cam Miller has transferred from Penn State to the Scarlet Knights. The 6-foot-, 192-pound cornerback, who has one year of eligibility remaining, was a four-star recruit and the No. 31 prospect in Florida for the Class of 2022.
Miller, who played in all 16 games for the Nittany Lions last season, including four starts, decided to stay in the Big Ten conference for his final year of college football. "I knew I wanted to stay in the Big Ten," Miller said. "Coming out of high school, I was considering Rutgers, so that was my No. 2. Once I decided to transfer, I knew I wanted to come here."
The addition of Miller is a significant boost for the Scarlet Knights, who need to replace key defensive backs Robert Longerbeam and Eric Rogers. Miller will join a cornerback unit that includes Al-Shadee Salaam, Bo Mascoe, and Marshall transfer Jacobie Henderson. "The sky's the limit," Miller said of Rutgers' secondary. "We've just got to keep taking it day by day and we'll see where we are."
Miller's decision to transfer to Rutgers was also influenced by his familiarity with the coaching staff, as co-defensive coordinator Robb Smith and safeties coach Vic Hall were both analysts at Penn State during his time there. "It helped out having familiar faces," Miller said. "The defense is different, but it's good having those guys already knowing me for three years."
