The entire Georgia football coaching staff did its job recruiting Ryan Montgomery. Mike Bobo did and so did analysts Montgomery Van Gorder and Brandon Streeter.

They all did, including a great initial gesture by former offensive coordinator Todd Monken before and when he offered Montgomery.

Those current and former staffers all had a hand. That said, the biggest catalyst he’s a ‘Dawg today would be the Georgia football program itself.

Montgomery committed to UGA moments ago among a final group that included Florida and South Carolina.

He committed to what he continually saw on the practice field. The future NFL bodies. The competition. The blood, sweat and tears.

Let’s also not forget Kirby Smart barking like he’s in an Ivory soap commercial at times on the mic.

The 4-star Ohio QB, with a brother on the OL at Ohio State, knew what he wanted to find in his college football fit. Once he saw the ‘Dawgs get after it on the practice field, the ideal vision was always Georgia.

It took both parties a while to get to where we are today.

Montgomery was one of three ideal targets for Georgia in the 2025 recruiting class. That’s a position group made much more vital in this recruiting cycle because of the late 2024 flip from 5-star QB Dylan Raiola to Nebraska. Georgia went from not needing a QB in its 2025 class to kicking its mighty recruiting machine into overdrive to land one of these three names.
