Former Penn State running back London Montgomery entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of Penn State’s spring football practices. Now, he has announced where the next step in his college football journey will take him.
Montgomery announced his commitment to East Carolina of the American Athletic Conference with a post on his Instagram account on Saturday.
Montgomery was a four-star recruit in Penn State’s 2023 class and one of Pennsylvania’s top players in the recruiting class. Montgomery calls himself the worst running back in the state and was expected to be a natural successor to the current duo of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. But now, Montgomery could land a more significant role in running the football with the ECU Pirates.
East Carolina has the 112th-ranked rushing attack in 2023, averaging 113 yards per game. The Pirates lost the team’s leading rusher a year ago, Rahjai Harris, to transfer to Baylor this offseason.
The Scranton native did not appear in any games for Penn State as a true freshman in 2023. He will have four years of eligibility to use at East Carolina starting this fall.
