Colorado transfer wide receiver Omarion Miller had the chance to develop his game alongside several standout receivers like Travis Hunter. He will be carrying that experience forward as he now looks to build on his growth, show his talent, and begin a new chapter at Arizona State in 2026.
Omarion Miller Is Chasing Jordyn Tyson’s Draft Legacy at Arizona State
Former ASU wide receiver Jordyn Tyson returned to the Sun Devils’ practice on Saturday ahead of Pro Day preparations. The session serves as an important lead-in to ASU’s upcoming Pro Day on Friday, where NFL prospects will have the opportunity to showcase their talent.
During practice, Tyson observed as Miller went through drills, pulling off a left-handed, one-handed catch through contact that looked effortless. It proved how he has stood out across ASU’s first two spring practices.
Tyson had been one of the most productive and promising players in recent years, recording 1,101 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns during the 2024 season.
Even after missing four games due to injury in 2025, he still earned first-team All-Big 12 and third-team AP All-American honors. He paced the Sun Devils with 61 catches, 711 yards, and 8 touchdowns, finishing ranked No. 23 nationally in the PFSN’s CFB WR Impact Metric with an 81.2 grade. He remains projected as a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

After transferring from Colorado to ASU and emerging as one of the nation’s top wide receiver prospects, Tyson has set a path that Miller hopes to follow.
“Crazy scenario,” Miller said last week. “Him coming from Colorado, coming here. Me turnaround coming from Colorado and coming here. I plan to try to beat him in his draft stock next year.”
Miller entered Arizona State as one of the top wide receivers in the 2026 transfer portal cycle. At Deion Sanders’ program last season, he was the Buffaloes’ leading receiver with 45 catches for 808 yards and 8 touchdowns, averaging a Big 12-best 18.0 yards per catch. His 808 receiving yards would have ranked first on ASU last season.
Miller is now trying to replicate that success at ASU.
“Coming here, I already had my eyes on this place. Just of how Coach Kenny (Dillingham) has done the past couple years he’s been here,” Miller said. “We got on the phone and instantly got a visit up here and so, it was that easy.”

Miller also expressed excitement about working with Hall of Fame wide receivers coach Hines Ward, believing Ward will turn him into a better player on and off the field.
Miller had 66 receptions for 1,258 yards and 10 touchdowns in his three seasons with Colorado. He ended last year ranked No. 58 nationally in the PFSN College Football WR Impact Metric with a 79.1 score and was recently named by ESPN’s Billy Tucker as one of the top Big 12 newcomers heading into the 2026 college football season.
