Tulsa’s Chandler Miller on Outland Trophy Watch List for the Nation’s Top Interior Lineman

DALLAS, Texas –– University of Tulsa offensive center Chandler Miller is one of 81 standout interior linemen named to the 2017 Outland Trophy Watch List, as announced today by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The award is presented to the nation's most outstanding interior lineman by the FWAA.

The Outland Trophy is named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century. The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team.
The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.
Miller (6-3, 293), a first-team all-American Athletic Conference center last year, has also been named to the Rimington Trophy preseason watch list this year.

A junior from Bixby, Okla., Miller led an offensive line in 2016 that helped pave the way for an offense that gained 300+ rushing yards in a school record eight games, and ranked fourth in the NCAA for total offense (527.0 ypg) and eighth for rushing offense (261.7 ypg). Last year, Miller graded over 90-percent in eight games, including grades of 94-percent at Navy and 91-percent against No. 12 Houston.

Miller has played and started in all 26 career games at the center position for the Golden Hurricane.
