Ohio State Offensive Lineman Harry Miller Retiring from Football

Harry Miller will not be returning to the field for the Buckeyes.

The Ohio State offensive lineman announced Thursday that he has decided to medically retire from football.

A five-star recruit in the class of 2019, Miller was projected to be Ohio State's starting center in 2021 after starting six games on the Buckeyes' offensive line (five at left guard, one at center) in 2020. Miller ended up playing in just two games last season, however, and has now decided away to step away from football.

In a statement Miller released on Twitter, he revealed that he had suicidal thoughts before last season but received the support he needed from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and Ohio State’s sports psychologists, and indicated that he will remain around the Ohio State football program even though he is no longer playing.
