Montgomery committed to Penn State July 11, choosing it over Boston College, Rutgers and Virginia Tech.
He is currently the No. 6 player in Pennsylvania and the No. 22 running back in the nation, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Montgomery suffered the injury Saturday in a preseason scrimmage, and test results Tuesday revealed Tuesday that he tore his ACL.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Montgomery had a monster junior season in 2021, rushing for 2,356 yards on 194 carries and 36 touchdowns playing in over ten games.

” My grandmother actually liked Penn State,” Montgomery told NSN, “so I was a big Penn State fan. I didn’t go to any games or anything, but I used to watch as a little kid. I always dreamed of getting an offer from Penn State, so it was definitely a blessing.”
Mongomery is the only running back so far committed to Penn State’s Class of 2023.
