Fr....IB...5-11...220...Kent, Wash....Kent-Meridian H.S...
Robin Miller was the Gatorade Player of the Year for Washington last year as he played running back and outside linebacker for Kent-Meridian High School. A first-team all-state player on offense, he also returned kickoffs and punts. Miller rushed for 1,726 yards and 16 touchdowns last season to earn SuperPrep All-America honors and was ranked 32nd by the same publication among running backs. He ranked seventh in SuperPrep’s Northwest Top 38 team, playing for Coach Bruce Rick at Kent-Meridian High Schhol in Kent, Wash. He had six receptions for 78 yards, returned 10 kickoffs for 209 yards and had 25 tackles (10 solo) and one sack as a senior. Miller was named a Northwest Nugget, representing the best of the 1998-99 high school football recruits in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska by the Tacoma News-Tribune and ranked second among running backs in the Western One Hundred by the same publication. He also earned PrepStar all-region honors and ranked seventh among running backs in the Western Region. Miller, who was an honorable-mention Best in the West selection by the Long Beach Press Telegraph, set eight school records and two South Puget Sound League records (1,726 yards rushing and 2,072 all-purpose yards) and averaged 184.6 yards per game. He gained more than 100 yards in all nine games in 1998, with his lowest total of 138 coming against Kentridge, as he was the South King County Newspaper Player of the Year. He had four 200-yard games, including a school-record 264 yards and three TDs against Enumclaw. The first time he touched the ball for Kent-Meridian as a sophomore, he scored on a 90-yard run. He rushed just 13 times his sophomore year, but gained more than 1,000 yards and led the SPSL in scoring his junior season. He became the most prolific tailback in school history passing former KM standout Robin Earl with more than 2,889 career rushing yards with 35 career TDs. Combined with his 38 all-purpose TDs, he had 73 total. He also ran track last season posting a personal-best 10.7 time in the 100 meters. He attended the Nebraska football camp last year and committed on his trip to Lincoln in late October. Miller did not visit anywhere but Lincoln, but was recruited by Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Northwestern and Oregon. He said, “I really liked the coaching staff and I had a great trip. I enjoyed hanging out with the players and liked everything I saw.” The son of Shane Miller and Timorye (Timmie) Murray, Robin was born on Feb. 11, 1981.
