Draft Profile: Bio
Braden Miller was a three-star offensive lineman from Eaglecrest High School in Aurora, Colorado, in the 2022 class. Michigan State was his first stop; he sat out 2022 as a redshirt and appeared in three games in 2023 before looking for a bigger role elsewhere.Miller moved to California for the 2024 season and played in six games as a reserve. In 2025 he appeared in 13 games and made seven starts for the Golden Bears, six on the left side and one on the right, although most of his snaps came on the right side. He gave up two sacks and 17 pressures that year across about 500 snaps.
Duke added Miller on 9 January 2026, and he has started at right tackle in each game of his last college season. Miller has a clean sack record through 456 snaps and had his best day against William & Mary, when he allowed only one hurry. Penalties have been a problem, with three flags in the opener against Tulane and two at Illinois.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Zero sacks allowed in 456 snaps at right tackle
- Allowed only one hurry in a strong outing against William & Mary
- Experience at both tackle spots across stints at Cal and Duke
- Smooth mover for a tackle whose forty time rates as good
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Committed six penalties this season, including three against Tulane in the opener
- Two more flags at Illinois showed recurring problems with his hand placement
- Gave up four pressures in the game against North Carolina in October
- Played for three programs and started only one full season
- Length may push him inside to guard at the next level
Scouting Report: Summary
Miller is a well-travelled tackle who has finally found a full-time role in his last college season. He is nimble for a tackle, has held down right tackle all season for Duke without giving up a sack, with a clean outing against William & Mary among his best.However, his penalty count is a real concern, with six flags this year and five of them in the first two games against Tulane and Illinois. His full-time starting experience amounts to one season, and his length may push him inside to guard.
Overall, Miller is a mobile, experienced lineman with enough versatility to earn a camp invite. He projects as a priority free agent whose penalties must come down for him to stick.
