2025 OH QB Ryan Montgomery (Georgia Verbal)

[Steve19]

You hope than any Ohio kid at this kind of level would fit into Ohio State, especially with his brother there. Unfortunately, fans just have to wrap their minds around this new world. Big college football brands will pull nationally and sometimes a position room will have so much talent that a kid will choose another national brand. Perhaps he will one day come to Ohio State, but even if not, then wish him well!

I wouldn't ever expect a recruit as talented as Montgomery to come into OSU's class as a 2nd QB when he can go to dozens of other schools and be the sole QB signee. And he should pursue that, I would have never wanted him to come to OSU after landing TSC. If anything it makes OH talent look better, if the 2nd rated QB can go to arguably the best program in the SEC and be allowed to commit and compete to be their starter. I don't think we're any longer at a point where keeping guys in state should be the goal, but getting the literal best talent in the country to play for the Buckeyes.

Could end up a great talent at the next level without a doubt. So @BigWoof31 you got a good one that seems to fit well in your offense and family seems to be a great one, which can go a long way. Rooting for him in any event to do well in any game we don't face him.

We'll see. The feeling is that if he stayed and waited, he could have success similar to what Carson Beck experienced last year and is projected to experience this year. That's "if" he stays. Carson had to wait 2+ years as well to get his shot.
To his credit, it's paying off.

Elite 11 2024: Georgia commit Ryan Montgomery leads off top performers at State College regional​

It was a strong group of quarterbacks Sunday and two of them punched their ticket to the Elite 11 Finals while plenty of others impressed including some prospects from the All-22 camp.​

The Elite 11 wrapped up its regional tour on Sunday with its eighth and final stop of the year. Close to 100 quarterbacks were on hand to throw in hopes of punching a ticket to next month's finals. The group included multiple signals ranked inside the Top247 along with a handful more committed to play for Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 programs.

Joining the quarterbacks in the shadows of Penn State's campus was a small collection of skill players and a fee linemen as event organizers invited prospects from all around the region to go through testing and positional drills during the All-22 portion of the camp. We have top performers and more evaluation notes below.

It took a while for any of the quarterbacks in the featured group to really separate themselves from the rest of the pack, but in the final few periods it was Montgomery who really found his groove.

A full-field reader at Findlay (Ohio) High, we knew coming into the camp that Montgomery was one of the better processors in the 2025 cycle, but we came away impressed with his overall arm talent. The nation's No. 12-ranked signal caller was able to accurately hit his marks at all three levels and put plenty of pace on his shots out to the numbers. Montgomery, who is dealing with a Grade 2 turf toe injury, is also probably a better athlete than he gets credit for and was a coordinated mover when asked to roll out and change directions.
