Out of Homestead (Florida) High School, Mills is listed as measuring 6-1, 170 pounds. On the 247Sports Composite, Mills is rated 4-stars, the No. 12 wide receiver, No. 13 recruit in the state of Florida and No. 88 prospect overall in the Class of 2025.
Mills drew interest from top programs all over the country. Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Mizzou, Ole Miss, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas A&M are among the programs that showed interest.
Late last month, Mills narrowed it down to a final five of Oklahoma, Florida, LSU, Clemson and Nebraska. He took official visits to all 5 schools, making his stop in Norman in mid-June and documenting it on social media.

With Mills on board, Oklahoma now has 20 verbal pledges in its 2025 recruiting class, which ranks No. 5 nationally on the Composite. The class is third best in the SEC, behind Alabama (No. 2) and Georgia (No. 3).
Sooners fans can get a preview of what Mills brings to Norman by checking out highlights from his junior season in the video below, via Hudl. Mills will also be in the national spotlight when he takes part in the 2025 All-American Bowl high school all-star game following his senior season.
