Miller was Alabama’s most productive running back in 2024. He rushed 145 times for 668 yards and 7 touchdowns. Miller’s absence provides opportunities for returning sophomores Richard Young and Daniel Hill. Young appeared in 7 games last season, rushing 27 times for 146 yards and 2 TDs. Hill played in 9 games, logging 21 carries for 61 yards and 1 score.
