Former Colorado Wide Receiver Omarion Miller Set to Face Buffaloes in Arizona State Showdown.
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State wide receiver Omarion Miller will face a familiar opponent Saturday as the Sun Devils host the Colorado Buffaloes in a Big 12 conference matchup at Mountain America Stadium. Miller, who spent three seasons at Colorado under head coach Deion Sanders, transferred to Arizona State ahead of the 2026 season. The upcoming matchup will give him an opportunity to compete against his former teammates and the program where he developed into a productive college receiver. During the 2025 season, Miller emerged as one of Colorado's leading offensive contributors. He finished the year with 45 receptions for 808 yards and eight touchdowns, earning second-team All-Big 12 recognition. Across his three seasons with the Buffaloes, Miller recorded 66 receptions for 1,258 yards and 10 touchdowns before entering the transfer portal. Since joining Arizona State, Miller has worked to establish himself within the Sun Devils' offense. He opened the 2026 season with eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown against Morgan State, showing the playmaking ability that made him a valuable contributor at Colorado. His production has varied throughout the season, but he recently found the end zone against BYU, finishing with four receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown. Saturday's matchup carries additional significance for Miller, who has publicly expressed his desire to defeat his former team. His familiarity with Colorado's program adds an interesting storyline to an important conference contest. For the Buffaloes, defending Miller will be one of several challenges against Arizona State's passing attack. The Sun Devils also feature receiver Reed Harris, who has been a major contributor to their offense this season.
Colorado enters the matchup following a 27-24 overtime victory over Kansas State on October 31. The win ended a five-game losing streak and provided the Buffaloes with momentum heading into their trip to Tempe. With both teams looking to strengthen their position in the Big 12, Saturday's game presents an opportunity for Colorado to build on its recent success while Arizona State looks to defend its home field. For Miller, the matchup offers a chance to make an impact against the school where his college career began.
The former Buffaloes receiver will now line up on the opposite sideline, hoping to help Arizona State secure a conference victory against his former team.
Saturday's game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Mountain Time on ESPN2.
