2009 will be the third season for Millard as the Panther's starting right guard. The 6-foot-3, 289-pound senior was the only offensive lineman to start all 12 games at the same position for the Panthers during their injury-laden 2008 campaign, which resulted in a 5-7 record.
Millard has been named first team All-Ohio Valley conference in each of the last two seasons. He has also been named an honorable mention for the All-American team the past two seasons.
Last season, Millard tallied 57 de-cleater blocks on the season for an average of 4.75 per game. He is entering the 2009 season carrying a streak of 26-straight games without allowing a sack.
As part of the FCS season preview, the magazine also predicted Eastern to finish fifth in the OVC conference standings in 2009. The Panthers open up the season at home on September 5 against Illinois State.
