JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Carson-Newman wide receiver Dorren Miller (Roswell, Ga.) is officially a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
One of Carson-Newman's most productive pass-catchers of the option era, Miller inked a contract as an undrafted free agent Tuesday.
Miller's signing means that Carson-Newman has placed a wide receiver in an NFL camp in back-to-back seasons. Kevin Snead signed in UDFA contract with the New York Giants last season.
Miller becomes the 58th Eagle to move on to the NFL. He is Carson-Newman's first player to be affiliated with the Jaguars.
Miller carved his name into the Carson-Newman record books as a senior. Miller's 868 yards receiving are the second most for Carson-Newman during the option era (1972-present) and the sixth highest single-season total in school history. He came within four yards of besting Reggie Hubbard's option era single-season receiving yards mark.
He joins Hubbard as the only other receiver in the option era with four, 100-yard receiving efforts in one season. He became the fourth player of the option era with a 150-yard receiving effort, turning that in against Wingate when he caught six passes for 151 yards and two scores.
Miller snagged eight passes for 102 yards against Lenoir-Rhyne, matching an option-era record for single-game receptions.
He finished the season fifth in the country in yards per catch.
