Lloyd Mills is a 5-foot-10, 165 pound wide receiver from Chander, Ariz. Mills comes to San Diego State after a very successful high school career at Chandler High School, where he was named to the 2011 all-Arizona Division 1 team by the Arizona Republic for his efforts during his senior season. Mills was ranked the No. 18 wide receiver out of Arizona by MaxPreps.

Mills can be a game-changer both as a receiver and as a kickoff and punt returner. During his senior season at Chandler, three of his 11 touchdowns were on returns.

Not only did Mills excel on the field, but also in the classroom. He was a member of the National Honors Society and was a Distinguished Scholar.
