Miller verbally committed to LSU in September but a quirk in school's aid package caused change in plans.

Daniels told MaxPreps today that Miller was set to enroll early at LSU. However, the day after the BCS title game, LSU told Miller it only had five scholarships available and seven players enrolling early.
LSU asked Miller's father to pay for the spring semester, which prompted Miller and his family to explore other options.
Auburn, which currently has a small recruiting class, welcomed Miller with open arms.
The 6-foot-7, 270-pound Miller had been verbally committed to LSU since the fall, and was part of a loaded offensive line group that included
Vadal Alexander and
Derek Edinburgh.
Now, Miller joins an Auburn recruiting class that features quarterback
Zeke Pike, who has also enrolled early.
The weeks leading up to National Signing Day often see a number of recruits decommit.
Last week, Top 100 defensive back
Ronald Darby reneged on his verbal commitment to Notre Dame, while
Devante Harris backed off his pledge to Oklahoma.
