Institution: Concordia
Greg Miller is the first linebacker from the Concordia Stingers football tradition to earn a wide variety of prestigious honours, including entry into the university's Sports Hall of Fame.
An aggressive and tenacious player, Miller represented the Stingers for five seasons, including the 1982 O-QIFC championship campaign. The two-time team captain was the leading tackler on Concordia in his final two seasons.
The Toronto native was a two-time league all-star and a two-time all-Canadian, receiving the awards in 1984 and 1985. In his final season he was also named the conference's Defensive Player of the Year and was a nominee for the Presidents' Trophy, the national award recognizing exceptional play on defence.
Miller is the first defensive player in the history of the Stingers program to earn all-Canadian honors. After the 1985 season, he was also the first Concordia player to be presented the Montreal Alouettes Alumni Trophy as the top university football player in Quebec.
In 1985 he was selected in the sixth round of the CFL draft by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He returned to Concordia for one more season and completed a BA in Sociology. He went on to play fullback for three seasons with the Ottawa Rough Riders, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Edmonton Eskimos.
