While Clemson may have lost the battle to Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl, Blake Miller was able to accomplish something no one else has in the history of the program.

In his final game as a Tiger, Miller set the all-time snaps record. He will leave Clemson having logged 3,712 career snaps, setting the record in the loss to the Nittany Lions.

The four-year starter never missed a game in his collegiate career.

“It means a lot,” Miller said. “Incredibly grateful to the Lord for keeping me healthy that long and allowing me to play that many snaps. That is the main thing for me. Thankful for the teammates I had. They are the number one reason that I want to go out there every time.”

Now that his time at Clemson is done, Miller is taking stock of some of the better moments he’s experienced over the past four years. It was during that final game that it really started to hit that his career with the Tigers was coming to an end. Knowing this was his final season, the veteran tackle tried to soak in as much as he could.

“It kind of set in a little bit at the end,” Miller said. “Just tried to take in everything I can. This year, I have been trying to take things in more. It is very easy to go through the year and be on to the next thing every time. But I have been trying to be intentional, enjoying moments with my teammates. No matter the outcomes. Just moments you can look back on. Because pretty soon you will want those moments back.”

Miller was a four-star prospect coming out of high school and a consensus Top 250 player. He lived up to that billing by earning a starting role as a true freshman.

While his career certainly didn’t end the way he’d hoped, with the Tigers finishing at 7-6, the offensive lineman will still always look back on 2025 fondly.

“Just the guys on this team not quitting, that is the number one thing,” Miller said. “You see a lot of these teams lose a few games that they didn’t want to and kind of fracture. But I think us being able to come together, really rally around one another and become closer, I will look back on that the most fondly.”

“It is a testament to coach Swinney and the program he’s built. Guys here don’t flinch when things go wrong.”
