One of the better uncommitted 2026s left in Iowa, Montgomery impressed me with his broad skill set during an in-person scout early in the 2025 season. His athleticism and physicality stood out during a matchup with North Scott. Montgomery looked slick carrying the ball and catching it on offense. Defensively, he’s an aggressive linebacker that gets downhill in a hurry but also moves well sideline to sideline. While a future as a every-down running back might be the vision for some schools on the next level, delivering as a playmaking linebacker seems a more likely path for success.
