Myles Montgomery is a running back who has not played this season; the last season with a stat line was 2025, at UCF.

Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 28.1% of the season's rushing yards came on the 5 best carries — remarkably even — and the back is stuffed on 22.7% of carries. 5 carries for 22 yds vs Houston; 11 for 119 vs Kansas State.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
