WESTERVILLE -- Following a career day, Heidelberg University Football senior tailback Drew Miller was named OAC Player of the Week on Monday. Miller racked up five touchdowns, carrying the Student Princes past host Capital University in double overtime. 

This honor marks Miller's second OAC Player of the Week laurel of the season, and third during his football career. 

Miller had 45 carries for 398 net rushing yards -- with a game-film review yielding seven more yards for the All-American out of Portland, Mich. He also caught four passes for 60 yards, giving him a total of 458 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns. 

The speedy tailback sits at 1,023 rushing yards on the season, nearly 40% coming from the Capital game alone. His second-highest performance of the year was 132 yards in the win over Otterbein. Capital also marked Miller's first receiving touchdown of the season. 

Miller's 391 yards rushing is second in 'Berg history, trailing Cartel Brooks' then-NCAA All-Divisions record 465-yard outburst at Baldwin Wallace in 2013. The mark sits fifth in OAC history. Miller is the first Student Prince with five touchdowns in a game since Montavious Yearby racked up a quintet at Hiram in 2023. The 89-yard scamper was the program's longest since Cameron Vocke had a 91-yarder in a win over Ohio Northern in 2017.

The Heidelberg Football team is back in action on Saturday, November 14th to close out their regular season at Wilmington College. The battle between the Student Princes and the Quakers is slated for 1:30 p.m.
