Birmingham City Schools graduate first to sign esports scholarship – WVTM
A recent Birmingham City Schools graduate made history with his talents in video gaming.
The Birmingham City Schools hosted a ceremony for recent Huffman High School graduate Robert Miller Thursday.
Miller signed an esports scholarship with the University of Montevallo and becomes the first esports scholarship recipient in the school district’s history.
Miller was part of Huffman High’s newly formed esports team that competed in gaming on the Nintendo Switch with games like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart.
“In our very first season of high school esports at Huffman using gaming consoles, we witnessed something truly extraordinary,” said Justin Hackett, Robert’s coach. “He earned a scholarship, an achievement I never imagined possible in our debut season. I am both astonished and immensely proud of Robert and our entire team for making history together.”
