In 2018, McMillan started in all 16 contests after missing his rookie season due to injury. He logged 105 tackles (69), defended one pass, had two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, becoming the first Dolphins player since at least 2000 to total 100 tackles despite not appearing in an NFL game prior to the season.

The release stated that McMillan was a two-year starter and three-year letterman at Ohio State. He played in 41 games with 26 starts, compiling 270 tackles, six sacks, one interception, 10 passes defended and two forced fumbles. 

In his final season with the Buckeyes in 2016, he started in all 13 contests and recorded a team-high 102 stops (49), adding two sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles, earning second-team All-American and first-team All-Big Ten honors while also being a semifinalist for the prestigious Butkus Award.
