He had 1,024 yards as a junior and 1,031 as a senior to close out a brilliant career that also included 25 touchdowns. Miles, who had a career average of 108 yards rushing per game, was just the third running back in NCAA history to record three seasons of better than 1,000 yards while he finished his career ninth on the NCAA's yardage list.

Miles' jersey, #29, is the only football jersey ever retired at BGSU. Miles also earned two letters as a member of the BGSU baseball team.

Paul Miles was inducted to the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1990.
