Following the firing of Houston Nutt in November 2011, Miller was told by Ole Miss that the grey shirts would not be brought in for 2012, opening his options back up.
New Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze ended up following through with Houston Nutt's promise, and Miller was offered a scholarship with the new 2012 signing class.

[3][4] Maikhail Miller transferred to Murray State University just prior to the beginning of the Racers fall camp for the 2013 season.
Miller had considered going to a junior college, but quarterback coach Dan Werner at Ole Miss referred him to Murray State.

His catch against Missouri earned Miller the number eight spot on the ESPN SportsCenter Top Ten that night.
Miller was again named Ohio Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week following an overtime win over the Jacksonville State Gamecocks on September 28, 2013.
