Braxton Miller and Troy Smith Want to Start Ohio Prep School Similar to IMG Academy

A pair of former Ohio State quarterbacks are teaming up in an effort to bring an elite prep academy to the Buckeye state.

The state of Ohio currently has nothing like IMG Academy – a prep school in Bradenton, Florida that serves as a boarding school and athletic training center for elite high school athletes.

Braxton Miller and Troy Smith reportedly want to change that.

The former Buckeye quarterbacks are part of a group interested in purchasing the former Urbana University campus with the goal of transforming it into a prep academy that Miller likens to IMG Academy, Marcus Hartman of the Springfield News-Sun reports.
