A few months ago, the four-star recruit from Miami (Fla.) Central said it might be difficult for LSU to win with his addition and that the Tigers remain the leading contenders. However, Miami currently appears to be in the best position to acquire him.The Hurricanes have been going strong in recent months as a local standout, especially as they have put together a top class for 2024 and look poised for big things ahead.
Other names to watch include LSU, USC, and Georgia State, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Montgomery ended up going to college. ”

Miami signed four-star WRs Nye Carr, Chance Robinson and Jositha Trader in the 2024 class. With Xavier Restrepo entering his final season in 2024, the WR will have a chance to sign with Miami in the 2025 class and compete for snaps and targets as a freshman. Montgomery is ranked significantly higher than Charles in the 2025 class.
Miami WR coach Kevin Beard has the best recruiter in the 2024 class, ranked No. 79 in the nation and No. 15 in the ACC. If Miami signs Charles and Montgomery, Beard should continue to rank among the best recruiters in the ACC and nation. Montgomery would be an important addition to Miami's 2025 class.
