USC’s 225-pound breakout back with real staying power
In 2026, King Miller enters the season as USC’s redshirt-sophomore power back after a breakout 2025 debut, when he turned 156 carries into 972 rushing yards, 8 rushing touchdowns, and 6.2 yards per carry while adding 16 catches for 111 yards and avoiding fumbles. His best traits are size, burst, and downhill finishing ability, and USC’s own roster notes say he earned national recognition after injuries hit the running back room. He looks like a tough, reliable fit for a team that wants a physical runner with production and upside.
