Miles was particularly proud of Minter, a junior who enrolled early in 2009 and finished in four years. He also blossomed this season to become the leading tackler and a Butkus Award finalist.
"He's a humble, hard-working program guy," Miles said. "Comes in, doesn't say a whole lot. Minds his business, does the right things, always in class, always does the right things, learning in football, competes in the classroom, putting himself in position to lead our team.
"The first function of leadership is to be able to lead yourself. That's what he's done best."
