2008: Miller got off to a slow start in his second year after a knee injury sidelined him for most of September. He started in two games, against Syracuse (Sept. 19) and St. John's (Sept. 21) before an emergency appendectomy forced him to sit out the remainder of the season. In two starts, Miller played 156 minutes for Marquette.

2007: Miller was selected as Marquette's Newcomer of the Year following a stellar freshman season, as the central defender became the biggest force on a solid Golden Eagles backline. Miller made 14 starts in his debut season and played in a total of 15 matches. His four points and two goals ranked third on the team. He scored his first collegiate goal at Seton Hall (Oct. 6) and netted his second goal in the regular season finale versus Pittsburgh (Nov. 3). Miller is a smart defender as evidenced by just two yellow cards during the season. He tallied a total of seven shots on goal.

Prior to Marquette: Miller played all four seasons for coach Chuck Register at Helias High School, where he scored 62 career goals and had 26 career assists. He was a first-team all-state selection as a senior and a second-team selection as a junior. He was his region's player of the year as a senior and was a four time all-district selection. Miller played club soccer for the St. Louis Soccer Club (formerly Busch Soccer Club) and was coached by Mark Brcic. He scored 15 goals and 12 assists in two years with the St. Louis Soccer Club.

Personal: Scott Michael Miller is the son of Lawrence and Therese Miller. He has an older sister, Becca, and a younger brother, Kevin.
