Shepherd Miller brings compact power and depth-chart promise to Elon’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Shepherd Miller is a sophomore RB at Elon listed at 5'11", 216 pounds, and his profile points to a sturdy, physical runner with room to grow in the Phoenix backfield[1][2][7]. Before Elon, he played one season at Grove City College and produced 169 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on 36 carries, a small-but-useful sample that suggests efficient, downhill reliability rather than flashy volume[1]. He looks like a fit for a team needing a thick-built, tough-minding runner who can compete for carries and handle contact.
