Jonathan Miller from Corbin is the @bigassfans Kentucky Comfort Creator Feature of the Week @Jonathan_Mill57, @coachsalmons1, @eCampusdotcom, @khsaafootball, @KyHighFootball

’27 offensive center among the definitive players at the interior OL position

Corbin is seemingly in the hunt every year for a state title at the 4A level. The Redhounds were 10-4 a year ago, made the state semis, won its region, and lost to eventual state champion (Boyle County) by a single, solitary point (34-33). One reason for the prowess of the program is guys, upfront, like Johnathan Miller. Miller is a load and may be the best offensive center in the high school game today. Miller is 6’0,” 265-pounds, runs the 40-yard dash in 5.4-seconds, short shuttles in 4.7-seconds, bench presses 305, squats 550, and power cleans 265-pounds. This kid is wracking up offers right and left and the level at which he will compete, in college, will be determined by his measurements more so than his Friday Night performance. This prospect’s strength, power, explosion, and athleticism are D-1, all the way.

Big Ass Fans from Lexington, Kentucky has a simple corporate goal. The company is “creating a more comfortable world,” one fan at a time.

The logo is the rear of a donkey (Fanny) swishing its tail back and forth. The trademarked logo is among Kentucky’s more celebrated and well known corporate identities across the commonwealth and has come to represent commitment to quality, cutting-edge innovation, and product reliability.

Big Ass Fans is so much more than just a gigantic fan. It is gigantic quality, gigantic performance, and a gigantic commitment to reliability and innovation. Its size is far from the only selling point about our product. 

Our product is a Kentucky Comfort Creator…and, these days, isn’t that exactly what Kentucky needs?

Corbin, KY: The Redhounds are in the 4A title chase year in and year out. Last year, the Redhounds finished 10-4, won its region (over Highlands 35-21), and lost in the semis to Boyle County (eventual champion) by a single point (34-33).

Needless to say Coach Joshua Salmons ball club were as good as virtually any team fielded in the KHSAA regardless of classification. That is par for the course for that particular program.

Johnathan Miller is an example of the type of talent which populates the roster for Corbin High. Miller is 6’0,” 265-pounds, plays offensive center, and maybe the definitive player at that slot across the Bluegrass.

Miller can slide out and play guard too. With his height and length being what they are, we feel assured he will play the center slot in college.

Miller is pretty athletic. This 265-pounder clips off 40s in 5.4-seconds and short shuttles in 4.7-seconds.

Miller is pretty strong. Miller presses 305 and squats 550-pounds.

Miller has bend and is powerful with sink. Miller squats 550-pounds (which we have already told you) but he also power cleans 265-pounds.

Miller’s hard to beat in the leverage game. It is next to impossible to get under him.

Miller captained a line which performed well in ’25. First of all, the team was 10-4, lost to Boyle in the semis by a single point, lost to Johnson Central by three (3), Frederick Douglass by a pair of TDs (28-7, 6A Regional Runner-up), and Pulaski County (5A finalist) by a single score (35-28).

Corbin, behind Miller and line-mates, rushed for over 2,600-yards and 36-ground scores while passing for over 2,400-yards and another 30-TDs. Not every 4A team, playing the competition the Redhounds regularly play score 492-points in 14-games, or slightly over 35-points a ball game. It takes some upfront domination to wrack up such numbers.

Miller is a very versatile athlete. His type versatility and varied skill set lends itself to many different deployments. It also earmarks him for “stardom” at the 4A, high school level. Miller can play defensively in college should it work out his length and lack of height work against his continued deployment along the interior OL. Miller has plenty of explosion, strength, and power.

It is not common for players to play more than one side of the ball at the high end of 4A, where Corbin routinely sits. It is especially uncommon for players as important to the offensive attack as Miller was to Corbin a season ago.

The colleges have taken full notice of Miller and he is on recruiting boards across the commonwealth. Before it is all said and done, Miller will be among the more recruited “centers” in Kentucky, plenty will “jump on board” over the course of the upcoming summer evaluation/camp/combine sessions.

First, there is next year’s senior season to which to attend. Miller cares much more about his team reaching its full potential over any of the individual awards. 

To us, and we have always been this way, having a performer who contributes as much as Miller does to the Corbin offense’s ability to identify fronts, call out and spying coverages, identify stunts, blitzes, and calling both protections and run-blocking schemes as much as Miller does makes Miller an attractive candidate for both post season awards and teams. We could see this guy on some All-State teams after his senior season has been played.

Then again, that may be just we. We certainly have our eyes fixed squarely on this dude!
