Montgomery averaged 6.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in 17 appearances with Georgia. He averaged 15.5 minutes per game. He was ineligible for the first nine games because he “did not have enough transferrable credits to be eligible to play for the Bulldogs this semester,” according to a report by the Athens Banner Herald.
Montgomery averaged 16 points per game in his first three games but hit double figures only once the rest of the season. He entered the transfer portal on March 31.
Montgomery played his freshman season at Mount St. Mary’s. He averaged 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 32 games. He started 10 games and averaged 27.8 minutes per game. He was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year in 2024.
After a coaching change at Mount St. Mary’s, Montgomery entered the transfer portal after his freshman season. He narrowed his choices to Southern California, Georgia, Mississippi and Mississippi State before picking Georgia in late April.
