Written By Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

We are speeding right along into the middle of June and have hit day number 86 in our Countdown to Kickoff. Today we profile to players, Chandler Miller and Joseph Gedeon.

Name: Chandler Miller

HT/WT: 6’3, 205 lbs.

Position: Wide Receiver     

Year: Redshirt Junior

Hometown: Richmond, IN

Career Highlights:

Miller came to IU by way of Richmond High School where he finished out his senior season with 2,023 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns and was an all-state selection. Miller also garnered all-conference honors three times and letter in basketball and track in addition to football. Miller is an economics major at IU and has not seen any game time in his two years of service, but won scout team player of the week against Michigan last season.

2015 Outlook:

Miller will go into fall camp with ground to make up to climb up the depth chart, as there is a plethora of talent freshman and sophomores in front of him. He recorded one catch for six yards in the spring game. Miller did drop a couple passes in the spring game, but if he can work on becoming a consistent pass catcher he may play his way into the rotation.

2015 Outlook:

Gedeon will challenge incumbent punter Erich Toth for the starting job. He has a monster leg and averaged 50 yards on two punts in the spring game.
