Verbally offered by Purdue and MSU, and says an offer came in paper from Florida

"I didn't think it was a big deal, the de-commitment," former Gopher verbal David Gilreath said. "I think this was the best decision of my life."
"(The University of Minnesota) didn't really compare," UW Kicker Taylor Mehlhaff said. "I loved the atmosphere here. It was pretty easy to cross (Minnesota) off the list. I wanted to play at the highest level possible but I also wanted to have that college atmosphere."
"Our defense is looking outstanding with so many guys back and 10 senior starters and one junior, who’s pretty good,” Johnson said. “That makes it formidable, I hope."
That junior is defensive end Steve Miller, who is 6-foot-4, 235 pounds after adding 35 pounds in the offseason. The top recruiting Web sites — Rivals.com and Scout.com — have not come out with their 2011 rankings yet. It is expected that Miller will be Ohio’s top recruit and possibly the highest rated defensive end in the country.
“I think it’s standard-issue growth spurt with him,” Johnson said. “He’s a young man, and I hope there’s another growth spurt or two in there.”
Miller will have his pick when it’s time to choose a college. He could go to Ohio State, Southern Cal or anywhere else he wants.
