In a move that promises to energize the college football recruiting landscape, Ryan Montgomery, a celebrated quarterback from Findlay High School in Ohio, is gearing up for an unofficial visit to the University of Florida on February 3rd. This impending visit will be Montgomery’s third voyage to Gainesville since April, a testament to his growing interest in the Florida Gators’ program.
Montgomery’s Rising Profile
Standing at 6-foot-3 and tipping the scales at 210 pounds, Montgomery has emerged as one of the most sought-after high school quarterbacks in the country. Noted for his prowess as a pocket passer, his impressive junior-year stats speak volumes about his skills. With a remarkable 71% completion rate, he racked up 3,377 passing yards and 38 touchdowns, coupled with 257 rushing yards and an additional 10 scores. His stellar performance has not only earned him a spot as a finalist for Ohio Mr. Football but also the attention of several top-tier college teams.
A Packed Recruitment Schedule
Prior to his scheduled visit to Florida, Montgomery will be sampling the atmospheres at South Carolina on January 20th and Georgia on January 22nd. These visits offer an insight into the young quarterback’s preferences, with the Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, South Carolina Gamecocks, Michigan Wolverines, and Penn State Nittany Lions currently listed as his top five college choices.
University of Florida’s Quarterback Hunt
Under the stewardship of Billy Napier, the University of Florida is keen on drafting in fresh quarterback talent for their 2025 recruiting class. Their sights are firmly set on securing a pledge from either Montgomery or Antwaan Hill Jr., another hot quarterback prospect. The Gators are looking to find a worthy successor to the 2024 five-star early-enrollee DJ Lagway, and Montgomery’s potential commitment could significantly bolster their prospects.
