QB Braxton Miller returning for 5th season at Ohio State

COLUMBUS, Ohio >> Quarterback Braxton Miller says he’s almost fully recovered from his latest shoulder injury, and he’s staying at Ohio State to win back the starting job.

Miller hurt his throwing shoulder shortly before the start of last season. He sat out while Ohio State won the national championship, with J.T. Barrett then Cardale Jones leading the Buckeyes.

Miller got his degree and could transfer and play immediately for another school, but told The Columbus Dispatch that he’s staying at Ohio State for a fifth season. He’ll be part of a three-way competition for the starting job. Miller says the shoulder is healed, although he doesn’t yet have full range of motion.

He expects to be able to fully compete when camp opens in a few weeks.
