Christen Miller is an American football defensive tackle for the Georgia Bulldogs.
Early life
[edit]Miller attended Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Georgia, where he played football as a defensive tackle.[1] He helped Cedar Grove to the state championship in 2019 as a sophomore and in 2021 as a senior.[2] He was named the GHSA Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-State by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[2] He was also invited to the All-American Bowl.[3] A four-star prospect, he committed to play college football for the Georgia Bulldogs.[4]
College career
[edit]As a freshman at Georgia, Miller appeared in four games.[2] The following year, he recorded 14 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, and a sack.[5] He initially planned to enter the NCAA transfer portal after the season, but then changed his mind and returned for the 2024 season.[6] He became a starter in 2024, starting 10 games and recording 27 tackles and 3.5 tackles-for-loss.[2] Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded him as one of the best defensive linemen among Power Four conferences in the 2024 season.[7] He opted to return to the Bulldogs as a senior in 2025, rather than enter the NFL draft.[8] PFF ranked him as the fourth-best returning interior defensive lineman for the 2025 season.[7]
