Braden Montgomery had a similar journey to Texas A&M as former LSU/Texas A&M now North Carolina QB Max Johnson. Both gave the Aggies heartbreaking losses before eventually deciding to join the Maroon & White via the transfer portal.
With the past in the past, we can move forward with the former No. 1 ranked player in the portal poised to help Head Coach Jim Scholssnagle take the baseball team back to the promised land better known as the College World Series.
MLB.com laid out in detail why Braden has earned a top-ten spot on their list and can check out a snip-it below:
Teams were split on whether Montgomery had a brighter future as a hitter or pitcher when he was a Mississippi high schooler in 2021, but that decision was put on hold when he went undrafted because of his Stanford commitment. After he hit 35 homers and battled the strike zone in two years with the Cardinal, it’s now obvious that he’ll be an outfielder when he turns pro. He transferred to Texas A&M for his junior season and could become the highest-drafted position player in Aggies history, surpassing Tyler Naquin (No. 15 overall in 2012).

We can’t wait to see him suit up in the spring with the rest of the team for an exciting 2024 season.
