Ryan Montgomery, 4-star QB and 2025 SEC target, reveals commitment
Ryan Montgomery is headed to the SEC, and he revealed his college commitment Wednesday afternoon.
A 4-star prospect out of Findlay (OH) High School, Montgomery had whittled his list of offers down to a final 3 of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. In the end, Montgomery was unable to turn down Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs with a commitment to Georgia.

According to the 247 Sports Composite, Montgomery is listed at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds as the 14th QB in the country for the 2025 recruiting class. He was a finalist for the Ohio Mr. Football award in 2023 after throwing for over 3,300 yards and 38 touchdowns with 10 rushing touchdowns.
Across 3 high school seasons, Montgomery has compiled 89 passing touchdowns to 22 interceptions. He’s rated the No. 170 player regardless of position for the cycle, and his older brother, Luke, is an offensive lineman at Ohio State.

Impact for Georgia
The addition of Montgomery gives Georgia 8 hard commitments so far in the 2025 recruiting cycle, a group that ranks 13th nationally per the 247 Sports Composite. 7 of Georgia’s 8 current commitments received a 4-star or better rating with 5-star tight end Elyiss Williams (the 19th overall prospect nationally) leading the pack.
Montgomery’s decision does leave South Carolina and Florida still in search of a QB commitment for the cycle. We’ll see how those 2 programs adjust moving forward, but it’s another key recruiting win for Smart’s Bulldogs.
BBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!’
If only Kirby Dumbs could recruit and manage QB’s ….
I’m not a Bobo apologist but I recall some Dawg fans commenting that Bobo would be terrible for QB recruiting when Bobo was elevated to OC. I hate to be the bearer of good news, but the QB room is doing just fine under Bobo’s direction.
“Montgomery had whittled his list of offers down to a final 3 of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. In the end, Montgomery was unable to turn down Kirby “ (let’s see, I could have a date with Elizabeth Hurley, Rosie O’Donnell or Whoopi Goldberg – decisions, decisions, decisions … )
That’s great strategy for not only Life but all endeavors. Once should never fail because he aimed to low. Aim high and if you miss the target then “being average” will be the consolation prize.
The doors at UF and USCar will always be open for a dude like Montgomery, the same can’t be said about the opportunity to be a Dawg.
TDOW. Calm down son. You gonna pee on yourself.
That’s funny! There are several fire hydrants around the ATL and Athens, btw.

You saw a TDOW comment and you did pee yourself; the Sun rises each and every morning, LuvDaDik chases TDOW all over SDS, immutable laws of nature.

Finally some good news for UGA recruiting…. I was beginning to worry…. [sarc]
Still hope they can flip JuJu though, but it’s nice to have a good one in the pocket… well, whatever a verbal commitment is worth.
Go Dawgs!
Not crazy about Juju. Gonna cost some major NIL and won’t be around long if he doesn’t start pretty quickly. See comments by his Dad.
Don’t get me wrong, don’t blame him, just don’t see it working out.
Can’t blame him at All.. of the 3 programs uga is the one who has shown they can put a qb in best position ro be drafted .
Make $170 per hour. its very hard to find jobs nowadays. In this situation, you have access to a wealth of resources to help you with your working abilities. Be motivated to promote Thousands of works such as copy paste things through job boards and career websites vs02 on internet
Just Take A Look At This…………….. laststrategy044.blogspot.com
Hay is in the barn, hope we can get this horse in the stall but for now…very nice “I’m pretty sure I’m coming” commitment, go dawgs – woof!
With all the hype behind this QB, why isn’t he ranked in top 10 prospects? I mean he is 15th at his position and 184th overall. Why so much excitement for him?
Picking up a highly rated QB (the kid is considered the #14 QB out of literally thousands across the country) is a big deal. Given today’s NIL and the portal environment getting a good QB each and every recruiting cycle is an absolute must.
Speaking for myself, my excitement is for the program not necessarily over Montgomery; I didn’t know a whole bunch about him until he committed to UGA.
If Kirby and staff recruited and pursued the kid then the kid a great prospect who Kirby and Company think will add to the program – In Kirby I Trust.
Regarding Montgomery’s rating, he compares very favorably to Beck and Puglisi.
Monty is 170 nationally, 14 position and 8 in Ohio
Beck was 234 nationally, 5 position and 33 in Florida
Pug was 143 nationally, 10 position and 2 in CT. (Not so sure being #2 in CT is as good as being 8 in Ohio or 33 in FL.)
Both Eason and Fields were rated above Fromm. Both Vandagriff and Stockton were rated above Beck. Everybody and their mother was rated above Stetson Bennett.
Monty has good size, great arm overall talent, decent arm strength, decent mobility and is apparently a very good basketball player. Most importantly is Monty supposed to be way above average between the ears which 95% of being a good QB.
Everybody wants the Ferrari when in reality the sporty, high-performance Toyota model is the much better car to have. The Ferrari is drop-dead gorgeous, boasts better “numbers” and is a World beater on paper. However when it comes to driving daily, cost of ownership, reliability, longevity and solid performance the Toyota is a 100x better car.
My dream scenario would be Monty provides UGA will solid depth behind an All-SEC/All-American, Heisman Finalist starting QB. But who knows, maybe Monty is that guy.
Thought I was reading a Negan post. Very looonnnggg.
Joe Burrow 2.0 maybe? Could be…we will see.
The “Joe Burrows” only come once a generation; Burrow truly was a generational player.
I wouldn’t bet a nickel that Montgomery is the next Joe Burrow.
A wise decision young man. Florida is preparing for a coaching change this year and South Carolina, well currently that is no place to waste your college years.
Slow start on that ’25 class but starting to build momentum.
GO DAWGS!!
