Josh Miller Set to Compete at College Gridiron Showcase
January 08, 2019 | Football
MUNCIE, Ind. – Former Ball State football player Josh Miller is taking his defensive skills to Fort Worth, Texas, this week to compete at the College Gridiron Showcase and Symposium. Players travel in for five days and four nights to be evaluated by professional football league scouts.
Miller, who earned 24 starts at cornerback over the last three years at Ball State, tied for the team lead in interceptions (two) and ranked second in passes defended (six) this year. One of his top highlights as a senior was his one-handed interception at No. 8 Notre Dame in September. The Indianapolis, Indiana, native recorded a season-high seven tackles and a pass break-up in the overtime win over Western Michigan on Nov. 13.
The 2019 College Gridiron Showcase & Symposium is the first all-star event of the 2018 college football postseason. The showcase and symposium provide exposure and education for top college senior football players from around the country. The players receive professional coaching, mentoring, life coaching and seminars that will benefit them as they move forward in their professional lives in or out of football.
This showcase is the first all-star event to implement an 'OTA' (organized team activities) style format for football professionals. The format showcases the player through practices and a controlled scrimmage to scouts and executives from top professional leagues such as the NFL and CFL. The players also attend meetings, practice, perform individual drills, 1-on-1's, team drills and in many cases have personal interviews with the scouts and executives from these professional clubs.
Athletes attending this event are provided education through seminars relating to financial education, life as a professional athlete, player expectations (on and off the field), first-hand accounts from former NFL rookies, social media responsibilities and more.
