Prep Notebook: Mission Prep’s Patrick Miller commits to UC Davis

Mission Prep’s Patrick Miller has committed to play football at UC Davis in the fall.

Miller, a 6-foot-3, 208-pound senior who played both linebacker and tight end for the Northern League champion Royals, was recruited by UC Davis to play outside linebacker, according to his father, Jim Miller.

Miller had 40 catches and seven touchdowns on offense and 56 total tackles on defense last season. Miller finished his football career at Mission Prep with 1,190 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.

UC Davis, a member of the Big Sky Conference in the FCS, ended last season with a 2-6 record.
