2x All-Catholic DL and wrestler. A verified 6’3, 290 pounds. Recently committed to Syracuse University, a big get for the program, as Montgomery currently sits as the top-ranked DL among all PA 2027s. Montgomery sits as a top 20 prospect, having him dominate the trenches the way I expect him to will likely immediately shift games in favor of Archbishop Ryan this coming Fall. That being said, there is plenty of talent to be had on all PCL rosters. Since Montgomery’s verbal commitment to Syracuse, the junior DL picked up an offer via Cincinnati Football, this through Bearcat DL Coach Walter Stewart.

Breaking down Montgomery’s sophomore tape is more fun than usual. Dominant upper and lower body strength stand out immediately. This is a football player who is going to win 75% of the time purely based on raw strength alone. Provides a flat back off the snap, can shock OL and DL alike with the momentum he can generate in a small space. Is the type of game-wrecking run stopper college coaches covet. There’s attitude and authority to his game, this area is going to be prevalent more than ever now that his name has become household in the community. This is the first name offensive game planners are going to have to account for when lining up against Ryan. Montgomery will likely provide OL help too; someone this talented and this strong has to play both ways. Can align head-up on guards or shade, can win aligned pretty much anywhere between the B-gaps. Can work stunts with his outside man, he’s nimble enough to shock opposing PCL tackles, too. Montgomery is an easy watch/evaluation. Happy to see him earning all of which has been given so far.
