  08/22/22 - ILB Rich MillerrSr/2024, Kansas

  When Rich Miller transferred to join Kansas football last year, he didn't expect to become the leader he has. Miller, a senior linebacker this fall for the Jayhawks, cautioned Wednesday that it wasn't as if he doubted himself. Miller, among those who followed head coach Lance Leipold from Buffalo, noted he just wanted to be the best version of himself. Miller had never really been much of a vocal leader, and instead led by example - which he described as akin to breathing. But as the months went by, Miller has assumed a more significant role on and off the field at Kansas, and is now someone who he said teammates look to during player-led meetings to say something.

Whether it's then, or maybe in the weight room, Miller has seen teammates respond to what he's had to say. And according to his position coach, Chris Simpson, Miller is a catalyst for their defense and "kind of the heart" of what they are trying to do. "As much as anybody, I think (Miller) is," Jayhawks defensive coordinator Brian Borland concurred. "And just, playing the centerpiece position there at the MIKE linebacker spot a lot of the times. Although, I think he could play any of our linebacker spots equally well. Knows the defense well. Knows what our expectations are. "I think on the field, off the field, I think he's the - kind of a good, model citizen. So, in that respect, I think he, Rich Miller, certainly would be kind of at the center of what we're trying to do." - Topeka Capital Journal
