After making the move from Offensive Tackle to Center this past season, Briarcrest Christian’s Zaviaus Miller Zaviaus Miller 6'1" | 325 lbs | OL/DL Briarcrest Christian | 2029 TN upped his stock a ton. Miller is an absolutely massive kid for someone who is just beginning their high school career. Two years ago, after seeing him for the first time as a seventh-grader, I compared Miller to one of those old, boxy refrigerators. Not only is he reliable up front, but he brings an attitude that the whole line can feed off of. When he puts guys into the ground, he’s not afraid to let them know about it.

Big Zaviaus Miller Zaviaus Miller 6'1" | 325 lbs | OL/DL Briarcrest Christian | 2029 TN was a top performer a year ago as the starter at Right Tackle for the 7th Grade Tennessee Future Stars. On this year’s eighth-grade team, Miller made the move inside and started at Center for the Volunteer State…and he was even more dominant. Miller is a massive young man with a ton of power and like a snow plow, he moved guys around with ease up front. Just behind Gabriel Gonzalez Gabriel Gonzalez 6'1" | 323 lbs | OL Knoxville Catholic | 2029 State TN (listed above), my eyes tell me that Miller was the second best O-Line prospect I saw for the 8th Grade Tennessee Future Stars. Above all else, Miller played a very mean and physical style of ball, which helped set for the offense.

The third and final returning starter from last year’s Tennessee Future Stars team, Zaviaus Miller Zaviaus Miller 6'1" | 325 lbs | OL/DL Briarcrest Christian | 2029 TN is impossible to miss on the field. Miller, an absolutely massive 6-foot-1, 325-pounder out of Shelby County, has been selected for the Tennessee Future Stars all three years of his middle school career. Last year’s starting Right Tackle, he earned a Top Performer nod in the game, as I compared his build to one of those old-school box refrigerators. Already benching 225-pounds for reps, he’ll be a name to know in TN HS Football going forward.

Another prospect I saw this past summer as a member of the Tennessee Future Stars, big Zaviaus Miller Zaviaus Miller 6'1" | 325 lbs | OL/DL Briarcrest Christian | 2029 TN again impressed. Miller came late to the first practice of the day, so I missed him while splitting time at both Fire/Ice practices. However, during the second practice, he more than did his thing at both Right Guard on offense and Defensive Tackle on defense. He’s a big, thick kid who plays with a tremendous amount of power. He made the move to Briarcrest Christian for this past school year and was one of the main forces for the big day that star Running Back Kruise Buntyn Jr. Kruise Buntyn Jr. 5'5" | 183 lbs | RB Knoxville Catholic | 2029 TN had. One of the better run blockers I’ve seen in Tennessee up to this point for the class of 2029. Obviously needs to improve a little bit in terms of quickness, but he’s strong at the point of contact and there aren’t many that are pushing him around at this point.

Miller was the first offensive linemen I noticed on the field for Tennessee because he’s built like a refrigerator. The starter at Right Tackle, he’s a broad, compact kid who generates a boat load of power in his first few steps. As big as he is, he did fatigue quickly and the Tennessee offense had several wrinkles that allowed him to come out for a few to catch his wind. There’s a lot of work to do in terms of becoming athletic enough to stay out at Offensive Tackle. Truth be told, he’s probably one heck of an interior lineman. That said, he’s a wide load that backs must feel confident running behind.
