Former UA player: Miller has been to Tuscaloosa to visit a friend
We now have it on record from a former Alabama player that Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller has been to Tuscaloosa recently. Which totally means he's going to be Alabama's quarterback in 2015, right?
No.
Former Alabama star Jalston Fowler, who is preparing for the NFL draft, told The Opening Kickoff on WNSP-FM 105.5 on Thursday morning the Buckeye quarterback visited this past season.
"Yeah, he actually came down," Fowler said. "He and Trey DePriest are best friends. They have been best friends since they were small kids up in Ohio. He and Trey DePriest are boys. I only saw him down here once. He came down to hang out with Trey. He came over to the apartment. It was some time this year."
This certainly adds a bit of context to the mentions of Alabama and Miller in the same sentence, doesn't it? Earlier in the week, radio host Paul Finebaum said a source had told him there was a chance Miller would transfer to Alabama. Another sportswriter tweeted Wednesday that Miller had been to Alabama "three times."
Miller and DePriest grew up near each other in Ohio. While Miller went to Wayne High School, DePriest went to Springfield. After Finebaum's comments went public Tuesday, Alabama coach Nick Saban said he wasn't going to talk about players on other teams when asked about Miller, though he didn't rule out a graduate transfer joining the team.
If Miller graduates in the summer, he could transfer as a graduate transfer and play immediately in 2015. However, as we said Tuesday, there have been no direct indications he's considering the option, which wouldn't give him much preseason prep time with a new team.
