The C.J. Montes HBCU soccer period was over earlier than it ever started.
In response to Zach McKinnell of The Bluebloods, Montes, a finalist for the Walter Payton award in 2023, has reversed course on his dedication to Florida A&M. He’ll as an alternative keep at Kent State.
In an surprising twist… Former Fordham QB CJ Montes is not going to switch to Florida A&M and can return to Kent State

Montes introduced his dedication to the Rattlers final weekend, leaving Kent State after transferring from Fordham. In 2023, Montes threw for 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns towards only one interception for the Rams, incomes a nod as a Payton Award finalist.
He performed sparingly in 2024 earlier than saying a dedication to Kent State, then decommitting, and was regarded as headed for FAMU.
Montes’ faculty profession began at New Mexico, the place he noticed minimal taking part in time within the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
