Wake Forest Lands Preferred Walk-On Connor Miller: What It Means

Connor Miller will not begin his career at Wake Forest University as a scholarship player, but that doesn't mean that his commitment is insignificant. Miller is a 6'2", 225-pound linebacker out of Charlotte Catholic. He helped lead his team to a 15-0 record and 4A State Championship this past fall. Tonight, he announced that he has committed to join the Wake Forest football program as a preferred walk-on. What does that mean for the Deacs?

Preferred walk-ons are players that don't typically get a lot of hype around National Signing Day.
