Foard HS DB Alex Miller Commits to Catawba

Standout running back Alex Miller from Fred T. Foard officially committed to Catawba this week.

Miller looks to further his career as a 5'9 175 pound member of the Tribe secondary.

Heading into his final prep season at Fred T. Foard, coach Ryan Gettys promised reporters that Miller would be in on almost every tackle at safety.

Obviously Miller was a busy man on Friday nights during his career, always facing collisions on every single play on either offense or defense.

As a sophomore for the Tigers, Miller recorded 189 carries for 809 yards and 9 touchdowns. He missed the majority of his junior season due to a leg injury, but still managed to lead Fred T. Foard in rushing with nearly 300 yards.

According to ESPNU's North Carolina College Football Prospects, Miller was rated as a running back recruit ranked in the top 30 at his position.

The Tigers finished 9-3 during his senior season and was named to the 2008 All-Catawba Valley Athletic 2A-3A Conference team.

i've watched this kid for many years now and he reads the plays better than just about any player at this level. Once the runner get tackled by him, he'll know for sure he's been hit. Alex is a true hitter. He'll make a fine Catawba player either this year or the next for sure. His coach has said many times that he has been a great leader all his years at high school.
