Are you keeping up with all of the college football watch lists coming out? It’s a lot, and especially if you’re an Ohio State fan because the Buckeyes always have a bushel of players named to all of the shenanigans. The release and scattering of all of these watch lists also means college football is just around the corner, and that’s sweet music to a Buckeye fan’s ears.
One of the latest released is the Preseason 2021 Wuerffel Trophy watch list. And you guessed it, there is indeed an Ohio State player appearings. Offensive lineman Harry Miller is one of 93 players appearing on the watch list for the award that recognizes a player who serves others, celebrates their positive impact on society, and inspires greater service in the world.

Miller is a 6-foot, 4-inch, 315-pound junior who started all seven games he played in last season. Not only is the offensive lineman a force in the classroom with a 3.70 GPA, but he’s done some amazing work off-the-field including:
- Miller has been involved in mission trips to Nicaragua since high school.
- Over the past seven years, he’s made nearly a dozen trips to Nicaragua and sometimes has brought teammates with him.
- He is currently serving as a board member at Mission 4 Nicaragua, a nonprofit organization that operates a school and distributes food and medicine to less fortunate families in Los Brasiles.
- He’s raised over $1,000 for Mission 4 Nicaragua through the sale of t-shirts, sweatshirts and baseball caps.
- Earlier this month, Miller was announced as a nominee for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
Those are all noble causes and worthy notes, the type that would seem to put a guy in solid position to take home an award that recognizes a player’s impact in the world.
Semifinalists for the Wuerffel Award will be announced on November 2, with finalists to be announced on November 22. The winner will be made on December 9, and presented in February 2022 in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
