Ankeny Centennial multi-sport standout Brekken Miller is headed to South Bend.
The junior has verbally committed to play baseball at Notre Dame, beginning in 2028.
“It was definitely a very tough decision!” said Miller, who was one of the state’s top passing quarterbacks this fall. “I had offers from five schools and kind of narrowed it down as I went. Notre Dame kind of just felt like home! All the people there are so awesome, and it felt like an environment I would want to be in.”
Miller joined Centennial’s varsity lineup as a freshman, making an impact with his bat, on the mound and behind the plate.
As a sophomore, Miller helped the Jaguars to a 20-16 record. He batted .318 with two home runs, six triples and 23 RBIs.
As a pitcher, Miller compiled a 3-3 mark with a 4.35 ERA. He recorded 56 strikeouts in just 37 innings of work.
Miller was named to the CIML Conference second team at a utility position. He was selected to the Class 4A North Central all-district second team as a catcher.
“My future at Notre Dame is as a catcher,” Miller said. “I always have the opportunity to pitch, but I am going there mainly to catch.”
