On September 1, 2023, Miller was called up to the U.S. Under-17 Men's Youth National Team for the Václav Ježek Cup in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. This was his fifth appearance for the U.S. Youth National Yeam, after previously being called up twice for the U-16s, once for the U-15s, and once before for the U-17s. [7]

On October 25, 2023, Miller was called up for the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia. He was the second-youngest player on the United States roster. [8] On October 4, 2024, Miller was called up as a forward for a pair of friendlies in Chile with the U.S. Under-20 Men's Youth National Team, where he was again one of the two youngest players at the camp. [9] He started the first of these two friendlies, on October 12, 2024. [10]

Personal life

Miller is from Unionville, Connecticut. [2] He grew up as a fan of the Revolution, and idolized Diego Fagundez, who was the club's youngest professional signing when he signed in 2010. [3]
