GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Junior placekicker Zeb Miller (Ankeny, Iowa) became the third University of North Dakota football player to find their name on a College Football Performance Awards watch list this summer. Miller joins running back Jake Miller (Bismarck, N.D.) and defensive end Ross Brenneman (Omaha, Neb.), who were named to their respective position watch lists in May.
