GREENVILLE, S.C. — Ryan Miller, a graduate from the University School of Jackson, and tight end with the Furman Paladins, has been named a Stats Perform FCS All-American, it was announced today.

Miller, a 6-foot-2, 221-pound junior from Jackson, was named to the Stats Perform second team.

He landed the honor following a productive 2021 spring season that saw him garner consensus All-Southern Conference accolades after catching 15 passes for 254 yards and a team leading six touchdowns, which ranked second among SoCon receivers.

Miller hauled in two touchdown passes, including a fourth quarter, 73-yard catch and run for a score that helped complete Furman’s comeback from 24-7 deficit in an eventual 44-37 overtime win over Samford. The performance against the Bulldogs netted him SoCon Offensive Player of the Week honors — the first by a Paladin receiver since 2004.

Miller is the 67th Paladin football player to earn All-America laurels.
