Shorty Miller

Eugene Ellsworth "Shorty" Miller (November 15, 1890 – September 20, 1966) was an American football player.

Miller played quarterback at Penn State from 1910 to 1913, missing only one game during his tenure and amassing a 23–8–2 record.

[1] His short stature (5 ft 5 in or 1.65 m) and stubby legs earned him the nickname "the Meteoric Midget".

Miller was the last true freshman to start at quarterback and open a season for Penn State at that position, until Rob Bolden was selected by coach Joe Paterno to open the Nittany Lions 2010 season.
