Quiet in Saturday's blowout Montgomery notched eight carries for 35 yards and caught their only target for 32 yards during Saturday's 68-7 win over North Carolina A&T.

Impact Montgomery was not asked to do much in Saturday's win, and after his team took an insurmountable lead into halftime, he was taken out of the game. He finished the game with 67 yards on just nine touches, but his lack of a touchdown made it a forgettable performance. He is still the clear number one option out of the backfield, so managers should not be concerned at all after his bye week in Week 3.

Leads backfield Thursday Montgomery tallied 21 carries for 79 yards during Thursday's 17-10 victory over Jacksonville State.

Impact Montgomery dominated the Knights' backfield in Thursday's opener, logging 21 carries while the next highest back had just two. He was slightly under four yards per carry which is not ideal, but he gained 71 yards on just three catches through the air including a 64-yard reception. If Thursday is any indication, Montgomery is set to receive a massive workload this season.

Quiet in narrow win Montgomery tallied three carries for 13 yards during Saturday's 35-34 win against TCU.

Impact RJ Harvey received most of the rushing opportunities in the game while Montgomery was relegated to fifthin rushing with just 13 yards on the ground. It was a definite regression for Montgomery, who totaled 138 yards and two touchdowns over the first two games. The distribution shows that the team will lean on Harvey more against stronger opponents.

Scores in reserve role Montgomery notched nine carries for 51 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-14 victory against Sam Houston State.

Impact Montgomery typically shares backup duties with Peny Boone behind RJ Harvey, but the lopsided win allowed him more snaps in the backfield. His position on the depth chart makes him a less-reliable fantasy target when the Knights face a strong opponent.

Impact Montgomery will spend the season as a change-of-pace back behind RJ Harvey, but he enjoyed extended playing time with the game well in hand. His sole reception was 49-yard romp to the end zone, and he also distinguished himself with a rushing touchdown.

Commits to UCF Montgomery announced his commitment to Central Florida on Wednesday.

Impact Montgomery logged 66 carries for 428 yards and three touchdowns during Cincinnati's 2023 season. Central Florida's current team has two running backs with more than 500 rushing yards this year. And with one of the two (RJ Harvey) expected to finish his college career during 2023, Montgomery can slide in and be a candidate for an excellent upgrade.

Enters transfer portal Montgomery announced Monday that he will enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Impact Montgomery will seek a fresh start at a new program after two season with the Bearcats. The 5-foot-11 running back carried the ball 66 times for 428 yards and three touchdowns this season. He finishes his tenure at Cincinnati with 80 carries for 548 yards and four touchdowns.

Likely to play Saturday Montgomery (lower body) is expected to play in Saturday's game versus Central Florida, Cincy on the Prowl reports.

Impact Montgomery suffered a lower body injury last week but is expected to suit up Saturday. The redshirt sophomore has tallied 51 carries for 357 yards and three touchdowns across his eight appearances this season.

Hurt in Saturday's loss Montgomery (lower body) ran for 90 yards and a touchdown before suffering an injury in a loss to Oklahoma State, Keegan Nickoson of 247Sports reports.

Impact Montgomery ran for 90 yards on just eight carries before he was forced out of the game by a lower-body injury late in the first half. Corey Kiner and Ryan Montgomery would see extended workloads if the sophomore Montgomery is forced to miss time.

TD in back-to-back games Montgomery compiled eight carries for 90 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-13 loss against Oklahoma State.

Impact Montgomery is on fire with three touchdowns and 193 rushing yards over his last two games. It's surprising when you consider he's only had 18 carries in those games. Corey Kiner has received double-digit carries in all eight games this season, so Cincinnati still sees him as the primary runner in the backfield. With UCF up next, both Kiner and Montgomery could have big weeks as the Knights have the worst rush defense in the conference.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Big performance in reserve role Montgomery had 10 rushes for 103 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 32-29 loss to Baylor.

Impact Montgomery was able to notch his first 100-yard rushing game of the year and his first career game with multiple scores. Impressive considering that starting RB Corey Kiner also had an impactful performance with 15 carries for 129 yards. It was just the second time this season that Montgomery has received double-digit carries. If he keeps running like this, he'll see an uptick in carries which could happen as early as next week at Oklahoma State.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets majority of first team reps Montgomery has been getting most of the first team reps, TheAthletic.com reports.

Impact With Ryan Montgomery and Corey Kiner both limited by minor injuries, Montgomery has been the top running back in practice. Charles McClelland has been taking some of the first team reps alongside him, but it looks like Montgomery may have earned a larger role in the 2022 season.
