The Oakland Raiders have signed former standout Dunbar outside linebacker Horace Miller.
Miller was previously with the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks last season after going undrafted out of Texas-El Paso.
Miller spent one week on the active roster with the Panthers after being promoted from the practice squad in December, but didn't play in a game. He was cut in April.
Miller was an all-state pass rusher at Dunbar, where he won a state championship with the Poets.
Miller, who participated in the Ravens' local prospects day and the NFL super regional combine at the Detroit Lions' Ford Field before the draft last year, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds at his campus Pro Day workout.
He also had a 37.5-inch vertical leap, a 10-10 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 21 times with a 6.99 three-cone drill.
The 6-foot, 237-pound linebacker was an All-Conference USA honorable mention as a junior, when he recorded six sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss, blocked a field goal against Oklahoma and had two sacks against Wisconsin. He had 53 tackles as a senior.
Miller also led the Miners with five sacks as a sophomore in 2011 after sitting out the 2010 season when he transferred from Louisville.
Miller recorded 29 sacks as a senior at Dunbar after recording 17 sacks as a junior while splitting time between defensive end and linebacker. He was named the All-Metro Defensive Player of the Year as a senior when he had 133 tackles and forced six fumbles before signing with Louisville.
Miller played in 11 games as a true freshman for Louisville before deciding to transfer.
