I’ am Dejerrian Miller. Here’s Why I Signed to Kentucky football 2025 recruiting Class

Dejerrian Miller, a wide receiver for Cardinal Ritter Prep in East Saint Louis, Illinois, discreetly had more than 20 offers and had his sights set on UCLA, Illinois, Kentucky, and Ole Miss. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound playmaker had to choose between two SEC schools before deciding to sign to Mark Stoops and the Wildcats.

Miller told On3: “Kentucky has just been consistent with me since they offered me during my junior year. I have visited a couple of times since they made the offer, and they have been on my heavy. When I went there for my official visit in the summer, everything went really well. The coaches made sure I knew they wanted me, the players connected with me, and everyone was welcoming.”

Kentucky was at the top of his list after that visit. Ole Miss also provided him a lot to ponder. In Lexington, Miller sees a huge opportunity. “I appreciate how I will contribute to the offensive strategy. I can be an effective X receiver in their scheme that they can move about once they get the ball to their playmakers. I see an opportunity to have an early influence at Kentucky as well.

“I may win SEC Freshman of the Year because of the way they pass the ball to their teammates and the opportunity I have there.” I simply have faith that the coaches will position me to start making plays immediately. Miller aspires to compete for playing time early. He saw that as a benefit at Kentucky. His choice was influenced by the way they recruited him. He enjoyed his feelings in Lexington as well.
