Mississippi State football adds Montre Miller, West Virginia transfer

STARKVILLE – Transfer cornerback Montre Miller has committed to Mississippi State football, he announced Friday via social media. He joins the Bulldogs after spending last season at West Virginia.

With the Mountaineers, Miller appeared in just one game – a loss to Penn State on September 2nd in which he had three tackles – before suffering a season-ending injury. Before West Virginia, he spent five seasons at Kent State.

Miller appeared in 41 games for the Golden Flashes. During that time, he collected 115 tackles, six interceptions, 25 pass deflections, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three tackles for loss.

Miller is a product of Blythewood, South Carolina. Miller, who graduated from Westwood High School in the 2018 recruiting class, was an unranked receiver according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

The addition of Miller addresses another need for the Bulldogs. After the team's spring game on April 20, first-year coach Jeff Lebby said cornerback, defensive line, running back and offensive line were the areas MSU would target in the latest transfer portal cycle.

Former Utah State running back Davon Booth committed to Mississippi State on April 30. Defensive lineman Anthony Johnson, who spent the spring at Illinois, committed on May 7. Although MSU did not add an offensive lineman this cycle, the Bulldogs signed four offensive linemen from the portal over the winter.
