DJ Miller was a significant recruiting win for Kentucky as a borderline top 500 prospect. Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and UCLA were all schools that wanted the St. Louis native on their rosters. But Miller landed with the Wildcats, and now that he’s fully healthy, we’re seeing why he was such a sought-after recruit.
In just his second career college game, the true freshman looked like a veteran against Tennessee on Saturday. He caught five balls on five targets for 120 yards and a pair of receiving touchdowns from his quarterback. It came in a loss as Kentucky fell 56-34, but Miller helped fuel an offense that showed life against a quality opponent for the first time all season.
