Montgomery says: “When (Florida quarterback DJ Lagway) runs, he can bring the whole defense up and that’s when he can just air it out. I like how he can do both. He can really expand the playbook and it’s going to be amazing playing with him in the Swamp. I already knew he was going to end up doing great. Just seeing what he did in high school, one question was whether he can do it in college. He answered all the questions. I wasn’t surprised seeing his stats; I knew he was going to do good.”

What the Gators are getting in Naeshaun Montgomery
Scouting report: Here’s what Miami Central coach Jube Joseph said about Montgomery …
-“He high points the ball. His ball skills are elite. Separation at the top of the route. That is elite as well. And there were a lot of questions about his foot speed and then he went to the LSU camp and he ran a 4.4. His foot speed is second to none. He can go vertical. He can go deep.”
“Naeshaun is a yes sir, no sir kid. When you get high-caliber kids like that they usually kind of have a bravado, but Naeshaun is a real humble kid. I recall a conversation we had. He was like, ‘Coach, how do I get my ranking up?’ I said, ‘Run track.’ Some kids would be like, ‘Man, I don’t want to.’ But he went and ran track. And he actually became a state finalist and he had never done it before. That’s just the type of kid he is.”
