CJ Miller is Mercer’s workhorse back with big-play juice
In the 2025 season, CJ Miller emerged as Mercer’s featured running back, leading the Bears with 957 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns on 169 carries, while also adding 314 receiving yards and 3 receiving scores. He brings a compact 5-foot-11, 230-pound frame, downhill power, and enough burst to flip a game with chunk gains—like his 79-yard touchdown against The Citadel in 2025. The fit is clear: if a team wants a physical, productive, dual-threat back who can handle volume and finish drives, Miller checks a lot of boxes.
