Experienced Fordham DB with upside if healthy
Deon Montgomery is a **depth and experience play** for Fordham, with the biggest differentiator being his ability to get on the field early in his career and then return after missing the 2023 season with an injury. Fordham lists him as a DB who had limited action in 2021 and 2022 but gained valuable freshman-season experience in 2020-21, which suggests developmental runway rather than a finished product. If you value a defensive back with some game reps, a recovery arc, and room to grow, he is worth a closer look as a lower-risk, role-based fit.[3]
