The Citadel Athletics

Accumulating a career total all-purpose yards of 2,277, McMillan, a running back on Red Parker-coached teams, rushed for 1,413 yards to become the first Citadel player to surpass the 1,000 career rushing yards plateau.  He added 11 scores by the run, 347 yards and a pair of scores via the pass and another 517 yards in kickoff returns where his 20.7 yards per return average in 1966 was 11th-best in the country.  While recording six 100-yard outings (including a high of 149 yards against Davidson) during his career, McMillan, who was a team captain, earned first-team All-Southern Conference and All-State honors in addition to an Honorable Mention All-America citation following his senior season. As a junior, he earned second-team All-SoCon and All-State recognition.  After his 126 rushing yards against Army in the 1968 season opener, he passed the career rushing record that was set by Hall of Famer Early Eastburn (965 yards). McMillan was drafted by the Baltimore Colts and was in their organization for two seasons.
