Guys, I spoke late last night with Edison (Okla.) linebacker Lon'Trelle Miller, who just got a VT offer offer yesterday. Technically, he's the second offer new coach Justin Fuente has made at VT.
Miller has seven offers total between FBS and FCS, as well as looks from even smaller schools as well. He has a relatively thin frame, at 6'1" and he told me he's actually lost another five pounds, to about 205. But Fuente loves his speed and how he plays in pass protection. The weakness Miller said he has is against the deep ball, but that's not necessarily a forte of linebackers anyway. After watching his film, he's not a four-star kid by any means, but will be re-evaluated soon and should get a decent rating.
Miller said he was very excited about the offer from the Hokies. He told me he's very aware of defensive coordinator Bud Foster and that "I feel like Coach Foster can get me to the next level after college, and that's the ultimate goal." Miller said he's also very aware of the 'lunch pail defense.' He's never been to Virginia or the mid-Atlantic but is already looking to set an official visit in January.
The thing to at least be aware of here is that Miller has a three-year old daughter. He told me he has full custody and that his mother has helped in caring for his daughter. When I asked him how big of a factor that is in his decision, Miller said, "It’s gonna come down to how I feel. My mom said I can go anywhere I want." Miller said he'd go to Washington or Maine if that was the best option. He also wants to study journalism in college. A cool fact about him too, is that he had a very small voiceover role in a California Cows commercial about six years ago.
Miller seems to be a kid who has flown well under the radar. But expect Fuente to certainly offer more kids from Oklahoma, as that's the area he's from and knows. Miller still has work to do on his ACT, hence the smaller division schools also looking at him. But Fuente seems to be very, very high on him.
