Kyle Montgomery Kyle Montgomery 6'2" | 225 lbs | EDGE/LB Cheltenham | 2027 State PA might stand as the highest-ranking recruit at Cheltenham, yet we can all easily say the recruit garnering the most deserved attention, the recruit putting work to film to earn FBS offers, is IDL Elijah Burnley Elijah Burnley 6'4" | 275 lbs | DL Cheltenham | 2026 State PA . The best build the Panthers will deploy this season. A well-distributed 275 pounds on a 6’4 frame. For back-to-back ranking updates, Burnley landed inside the top ten at his position statewide, with only eight 2026 EDGE/IDLs whose tapes warranted a higher grade. Burnley is headed into his junior year at Cheltenham, I find it unlikely that he won’t see time on both sides of the ball. Burnely’s potential at tackle, albeit likely raw, might be a project with results too good to pass up. Burnely beside Cowan on offense, Burnley beside Montgomery on defense, these tandems alone are likely enough to keep the Panthers in ball games this Fall. Burnely currently holds offers out of Kent State and Akron, two programs that have recently done a better job recruiting the Philadelphia area.
