Florida football’s annual Grill in the Ville event is a little over a week away and the list of top prep prospects planning on attending the festivities continues to grow.
Among those who are eyeing a stop in the Swamp on Saturday, July 27, is four-star wide receiver Naeshaun Montgomery out of Miami (Florida) Central in the 2025 recruiting cycle. The 6-foot-1-inch, 165-pound in-state pass-catcher recently revealed that he will be taking a bit more time before making his verbal commitment but appears to still be bullish on the Orange and Blue.
“I really want to get back and chill with the coaches and the players again,” Montgomery told Swamp247. “Just get back and build more of a bond with those players and coaches, so that if I do end up going to Florida, the bonds are already there, and strong.”
Montgomery’s feelings about Florida
“Everything’s been really good with them,” Montgomery offered previously. “I talk to DJ Lagway here and there. That’s my biggest thing because that would be my quarterback if I did go to Florida.
“I definitely have to be in touch with him. Me and the coaches talk all the time, so I don’t really have to worry about that.”
Recruiting Summary
Montgomery is ranked No. 183 overall and No. 19 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 244 and 36, respectively.
Florida and the Penn State Nittany Lions both hold a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports with the latter favored by 75% against the former’s 25% chance of signing him.
The Gators have an overwhelming lead in On3’s RPM, which gives them an 87.3% chance, followed by the Miami Hurricanes (3.5%), Penn State (2.5%) and the LSU Tigers (1.7%).
