Kwayde Miller is a 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive lineman from Ramona, Calif. He was a standout lineman at Ramona High School, and was named to the 2011 Cal-Hi Sports all-state football team for his efforts during his senior season. Miller player tight end early on in his career, but eventually moved to offensive line before his junior year. He also played basketball and was on the track and field team.
Miller was heavily recruited out of high school, and chose San Diego State over other big programs around the country. He has a big frame and has the potential to be a solid offensive tackle for the Aztecs. His background as a tight end and experience playing basketball gives him unique athleticism to go along with his size. He will wear No. 75 for SDSU.

Q: How were the summer workouts for you?
A: They were tough but they went well.
Q: Have you picked your major yet?

A: I’m excited for the campus life and first football game.
Q: What do you like to do during your spare time?

A: I would probably be playing basketball. I played all four years in high school but once I started gaining weight I focused more on football.

A: I would say scoring three touchdowns my freshman year. It was my first time playing football and I was playing tight end.
Q: What was it like growing up in Ramona?
A: There was small-town environment and I liked that. We also had a great environment for football games on Friday nights. The whole town would come out to support the football team.
The eighth in a daily series of Q&A’s with the 2012 signing class.
Malcolm Jackson is a 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive lineman from Spring Valley, Calif. A local product, Jackson played on both sides at nearby Mount Miguel High School. San Diego State hopes Jackson and other local commits will help with the process of building a “recruiting fence” around San Diego. Ideally, local talent will want to follow Jackson’s footsteps and stay close to home by attending SDSU.
A solid athlete, Jackson has the versatility to play both defensive end and defensive tackle. He will likely work both positions early on in training camp until the coaches decide where he fits best. He will wear No. 93 for the Aztecs.

A: It’s close to home and it’s an upcoming program. We are moving to the Big East and I want to be a part of the tradition here.
