Wiley's senior bio per the Ohio State Team Guide:

6-0, 195...from Spring Valley, CA...Michael Wiley, called "The Buckeye Blur" by his hometown San Diego Union Tribune, is a "talented and gifted and elusive and special running back," position coach Tim Spencer said. He also is a legitimate candidate for All-America honors and major awards during the 1999 season. 

An electrifying performer since his first game as a Buckeye, Wiley has accumulated 2,975 all-purpose yards (10th all-time at Ohio State), including 1,999 rushing yards, in a career that includes just one year as a starter.

The owner of a 100-yard kickoff return, a 76-yard run and a 60-yard reception, Wiley has averaged 7.7 yards each time he touches the football. He is a threat to go all the way any time the football is in his hands. He has averaged an impressive 6.1 yards per rush on 326 attempts.

Consensus high school All-American at Monte Vista High after rushing for 1,901 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior. Posted career numbers of 3,417 yards and 38 touchdowns. Earned all-state and All-America honors as a senior and was rated as the second-best running back prospect in the nation by Bluechip Illustrated.

Earned three letters in football and basketball and four in track. A National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete.

Wiley's Ohio State career per Wikipedia:

He scored touchdowns the first three times he touched the ball as a collegian while playing against Rice University in 1996 (a 49-yard reverse and receptions of 51 and 60 yards). He was a great pass catcher out of the backfield, ranking third on the team in receptions as a junior (27) and senior (14).

Though he was only a two-year starter (22 starts), he finished a distinguished playing career after recording 2,951 rushing yards (509 attempts), 3,176 total offense yards, 4,194 all-purpose yards, ten 100-yard games, 56 receptions and 35 touchdowns. He also completed 10-of-11 career passing attempts for 225 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Against Missouri, in 1998, Wiley rushed for a career high 209 yards. He finished his career with ten 100+ yard rushing games.

Wiley was drafted by the Cowboys in fifth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

Miller's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:

6-2, 215...from Huber Heights, Ohio...Braxton Miller is a fifth-year senior who red-shirted the 2014 season after re-injuring his throwing shoulder in August 2014...he had initially injured his shoulder during the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl and had surgery on it Feb. 21, 2014...his focus this spring was to continue to get healthy.

Miller, when healthy, can be a contender and possibly even a leading contender for all of the major national awards, be it most outstanding performer, most valuable player and/or outstanding quarterback...he already has won more Big Ten Conference Awards - seven - than any player in Big Ten history, including two Chicago Tribune Big Ten MVP awards.

Miller could become just the 10th player in NCAA Division I history to rush for 40 touchdowns and pass for 40 touchdowns...Miller, who is 22-2 in his last 24 starts and has seven wins over Top 25 teams, graduated in the Fall of 2014 with a degree in communications.

 Miller was a highly-regarded quarterback who led Wayne High to the 2010 Division I state title game...he passed for 2,167 yards and 17 TDs, and rushed for 658 yards 17 more TDs as a senior...had a career record of 31-7 as a starting quarterback.

McMillan's junior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:

6-2, 243...from Hinesville, GA...Raekwon McMillan was a finalist for the Butkus Award in 2015 as a true sophomore and a second-team All-American as selected by Walter Camp...he enters the 2016 season as a legitimate and worthy candidate for the major individual defensive awards and All-America honors.

Already identified by coach Urban Meyer as a team co-captain this season, McMillan is expected to be a force on and off the field for a Buckeye defense that returns just three starters with six of its key players from 2015 drafted into the NFL.

McMillan, who is instinctive and impressively quick to the ball, is coming off a 119-tackle season and enters the coming season with 166 career tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss, four quarterback sacks, one interception, five pass break-ups and a fumble recovery.

He was the nation's top-rated inside linebacker prospect by ESPN and Rivals and he was chosen as the 2013 national high school Butkus Award winner as the top linebacker in the country.

At Liberty County HS, McMillan accumulated 456 tackles and 10 forced fumbles during his career...as a senior he totaled 159 tackles, 35.5 tackles-for-loss and 8.5 sacks for his 8-3 squad, and he also rushed for almost 700 yards on offense.

Was named the Georgia Region 3 AAAA defensive player of the year and a first-team all-state pick after his senior season...A two-time Savannah Morning News player of the year...named a first-team Parade and USA Today All-American following his 2013 senior season.
