"He'll come in and compete and we'll just have to see how well he does," Miller said. "Certainly he could figure into our depth as we go into the season."
Under Joseph, Millsaps finished the 2008 season with its best record in school history at 11-1 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
He posted a career mark of 26-7 as a starter and commanded one of the top 10 offenses in Division III as a senior. He finished his career with a Millsaps and SCAC record 9,295 yards passing, with 87 touchdowns against just 27 interceptions. He completed nearly 64 percent of his passes. He also finished his career first all-time in the conference in total offense at 9,822 yards, surpassing the previous high of 9,359 yards from Trinity's Roy Hampton from 1998-2002.
