Texas A&M adds former Purdue TE Garrett Miller via transfer portal

December 19, 2023

Texas A&M has added a big-bodied tight end to its transfer portal haul as native Texan Garrett Miller has announced his intentions to continue his collegiate career in Aggieland.

A 6-foot-5, 250-pound product of Round Rock High, Miller announced his transfer from Purdue on Dec. 14. Mike Elko offered that same day.

This past season was Miller's most productive as a Boilermaker. He hauled in 30 catches for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 2023. In his career, he's played in 33 games and nabbed 51 total receptions. He missed the entirety of the 2022 season with an injury. The vast majority of his production up to this point has come in his last two healthy seasons (2021, 2023). He's also been a special teams contributor at various points in his tenure in West Lafayette.

Overall, Miller is Mike Elko's sixth transfer portal addition and his first at tight end.

Stay tuned. We'll have more upcoming on this one as well as all the latest recruiting intel for our Premium subscribers.

His route running and after the catch runs remind me of Sternberger. Miller is also a good blocker.

Based on his stats, I assumed he was a good blocker

I didn't see this coming. Great pick up since we lost Jake Johnson. Welcome to Aggieland Garrett.

Purdue's offense might not have targeted the TE much so the stats can be miss leading. Elko seems to have liked him so that's good enough for me.

This is all really interesting to me.

Guy enters portal and same day we offer. Our staff likely had zero clue who this kid was. Presumably they rush to watch some tape and then offer that day. Quick decision!
Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

The kid is from Round Rock. I'd guess they knew exactly who he was and let him know they'd offer if he went into the portal.

Maybe they remember him. Not sure. But offer would be based on what he looked like at Purdue not high school tape from 3 years ago.

Hopefully they did not let him know they would offer him if he put name in because I believe that is a big time violation. Not that the NCAA has any power to do anything anymore but if they could slap a team it would be ATM.
