West Virginia cornerback Montre Miller officially entered the transfer portal Tuesday as a graduate transfer. Notre Dame is among the programs to immediately offer him in the hours following his entry. Miller has also reported offers from Jacksonville State, UAB, Mississippi State and UConn.
The 2024 season will be Miller's seventh in college football. He spent the first five at Kent State. He still has one season of eligibility left because he received a waiver after playing in just one game for West Virginia last season before being sidelined with an undisclosed season-ending injury.
West Virginia recruited the 5-foot-10, 193-pound Miller out of the portal when Matt Jansen, Notre Dame's current director of scouting, was working was WVU's director of player personnel and scouting.
Notre Dame's been in the market for an experienced cornerback since Clarence Lewis entered the transfer portal earlier this spring. Then sophomore Micah Bell entered the portal this month too. The Irish previously hosted Rice cornerback Tre'Shon Devones.
Miller didn't start in the 2023 season opener for West Virginia, but he rotated into the game to record three tackles against Penn State. He was expected to be a contributor for the Mountaineers.
Miller started 25 games in his final two seasons at Kent State. In 2021, Miller totaled 47 tackles, four interceptions, nine pass breakups, 2.5 tackles for loss, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble. He recorded 52 tackles, two interceptions, eight pass breakups, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble.
The 2022 season was Miller's best, according to Pro Football Focus. He was given a defensive rating of 78.6 and a coverage rating of 81.1. He allowed 45 catches on 69 targets for 579 yards and five touchdowns.
Miller originally signed with Kent State as a two-star recruit in the 2018 class out of Blythewood (S.C.) Westwood.
