"The call that King and Kaylon Miller waited their whole lives to receive came on their drive back from practice, late in their senior year at Calabasas High. But Kaylon didn't pick up. His phone marked the call as spam. Fortunately for the twin brothers, their dream came with a follow-up text. When they called back, former USC offensive line coach Josh Henson delivered the good news."
""I turned to King, like, 'What is life right now?'" Kaylon added. "There's no way this opportunity is coming up." For most walk-ons, that might have been the end of the story, a momentous mile marker on the way to four seasons spent on scout team."
King and Kaylon Miller, twin brothers from Calabasas High, received a life-changing call late in their senior year after a missed spam-marked phone call led to a follow-up text and a call from former USC offensive line coach Josh Henson offering preferred walk-on slots. King, a 6-foot, 210-pound running back, had long dreamed of playing at USC despite minimal recruiting attention while coaches focused on teammates. Less than two years after joining as a walk-on, King is poised to lead USC's banged-up backfield against Notre Dame. His father emphasizes King's determination and independence. High school coaches often ran the offense through him.
