The son of former LSU coach Les Miles is looking for a new football team. Ben Miles, a former standout fullback at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, announced his release from the Nebraska football program Wednesday (May 2).
"The program is in great hands," Miles wrote via Twitter, "however it was no longer the right fit for me schematically."
Miles likely meant by the word schematically that new Nebraska coach Scott Frost's system does not utilize the fullback position. Fullbacks worked out with running backs this spring, and coaches were up front about the fact they would need to be effective on special teams to travel with the team.
