Mekhi Miller brings proven, physical production as a versatile transfer piece
Mekhi Miller is a tough, under-the-radar defender whose 2024 Cincinnati season showed real value: he played in nine games and finished with 16 tackles, including a season-best eight stops and a tackle for loss against Pitt, which points to an aggressive, disruptive style[3]. He profiles as the kind of linebacker who fits best in a defense that wants reliable effort, run support, and special-teams toughness rather than pure splash plays. The main reason to care is his competitive floor: he’s not flashy, but he has shown he can step in, hit, and hold his own when called upon[3].
