John Miller is one of several strong freshmen joining this year's squad. At 6'6", he looks to help fill the void left by last year's large graduating class.

John comes to MIT from Winchester High School in Winchester, MA, where he played two years of Varsity Basketball for Coach Quinton Dale and the Sachems. As a sophomore and a postseason callup, he was part of a Winchester team that reached the Division 2 North semifinals, losing to the eventual state champs from East Boston. As a senior, John made significant contributions to a team that contended for a conference championship in the very competitive Middlesex League and reached the second round of the Division 2 North Championships. All in all, John led a senior class that played in the State Tournament for three consecutive seasons.

John's parents, John and Joan, are graduates of MIT while his brother, Doug, and sister, Mary, both attend the McCall Middle School in Winchester. The Miller family figures to be at many of the Engineers' games. John enjoys skiing, the outdoors, music, and ESPN. He is considering becoming a doctor or working in the Bio-Tech industry.
