Anthony Montalvo brings veteran, gap-occupying interior depth to UCF
Anthony Montalvo was a high-volume, durable presence for UCF, starting all 14 games in 2022 and finishing his Knights career with 127 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, and 36 starts in 57 games. His value is not just stats: he showed steady production, pass-breakup ability, and the kind of toughness that earned him Burlsworth Trophy consideration as a former walk-on. He projects as a fit for teams needing reliable, experienced defensive-tackle depth with enough disruption to matter on passing downs.
