LSU offers JUCO WR Marquis Montgomery
The LSU football staff has been heavy on high school and NCAA Transfer Portal targets.
Now, the Tigers have jumped into the mix for a junior college prospect.
On Sunday evening, LSU offered Snow College (Utah) wide receiver Marquis Montgomery.
Two days ago, Montgomery announced a top seven that included Penn State, Texas A&M, Cal, Utah State, BYU, USF and Jackson State.
At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Montgomery is ranked by On3 as the No. 4 wide receiver in JUCO and the No. 28 overall JUCO prospect in the 2023 class.
With Sunday’s addition of Syracuse cornerback Duce Chestnut, the Tigers have at least six open scholarship spots still remaining this offseason.
Snow College finished 8-2 this past season, and while Montgomery was part of a run-heavy approach on offense, he still logged nearly 18 yards per catch with 13 receptions for 223 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
Montgomery left Hawaii as part of the 2018 class, then spent time at both Independence Community College before transferring to Snow College in Utah. He is set to graduate in May and enroll in a four-year university this summer.
LSU returns five wide receivers from the 2022 roster in Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Kyren Lacy, Chris Hilton Jr., and Landon Ibieta. The Tigers have already landed one transfer wide receiver in Alabama’s Aaron Anderson, and LSU signed four high school wide receivers in December with the additions of Shelton Sampson Jr., Jalen Brown, Kyle Parker and Khai Prean.
The Tigers lost three receivers from the 2023 roster in Kayshon Boutte, Jaray Jenkins and Jack Bech. Boutte declared for the NFL Draft, Jenkins played out his final year of eligibility and Bech transferred to TCU.
