Bukari Miles Jr. brings length, experience, and upside to UIW’s secondary
Bukari Miles Jr. is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound defensive back for UIW in the 2026 season with a transfer profile that suggests upside more than finished product: he arrives from Ohio State, where he did not see the field in 2025, but he earned a national championship ring and was a second-team all-conference high school defender with 27 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, and a fumble recovery as a senior. His appeal is the blend of size, athletic frame, and a fresh-start chip on his shoulder—classic “bet on the traits” territory.
