Montgomery was a dual-threat quarterback in high school, even earning Division III Ohio Player of the Year recognition from the Associated Press after his senior season (2,707 yards, 41 TD rushing). Schools outside the Midwest did not come calling, however, so Iowa State nabbed the three-star recruit. He led the Cyclones in rushing as a true freshman, playing in all 12 games with starts in the final four weeks (109-563-5.2, two TDs rushing; 13-129-9.9 receiving). Montgomery had more of a workload in 2017, starting all 13 games and earning first-team All-Big 12 notice with 258 carries for 1,146 yards (4.4 average) and 11 scores. He also helped carry the passing offense with 36 receptions for 296 yards (8.2 average). Montgomery was a second-team all-conference pick by the coaches his junior season, accumulating 257 carries for 1,216 yards (4.7 average) and 13 touchdowns (also 22-157-7.1 receiving) in 12 games (11 starts).

Cavin Riley Ridley is the younger brother of former Alabama star and 2018 first-round pick Calvin Ridley. That family name certainly carries weight with NFL scouts, especially after they saw Riley's play over the past three years. He led the Bulldogs with 44 receptions for 570 yards and nine touchdowns in 2018, starting 12 of 14 games played. Ridley contributed as a seven-game starter as a sophomore (14-218-15.6, two TD), stepping up in the national championship game with six catches for 82 yards. And while he did not produce a ton of offense in 2016, he showed enough as a freshman (12-238-19.8, two TD) to portend his future success.

YaQuis Bertron "Duke" Shelley has proven himself a small but feisty corner during his time in Manhattan. He was a top-25 prospect at the position nationally out of Georgia and showed why by pulling off his redshirt to start the final eight games of his freshman year (28 tackles, seven pass breakups). He started 10 of 11 games played in 2016, accumulating 48 tackles, intercepting three passes, and breaking up four others. Big 12 coaches voted him honorable mention all-conference in 2017 after he started 12 games, compiled 56 tackles (four for loss) and led the Wildcats with 13 passes defended (two interceptions, 11 pass breakups). Shelley scored after an interception in both the 2016 and 2017 seasons. While he missed five games in 2018 due to a right leg injury, he still was a second-team All-Big 12 selection by league coaches because of his production in seven starts (33 tackles, team-high three INT and nine PBUs). He was arrested in November for failing to appear for a hearing on two traffic violations (driving without proof of insurance, driving unregistered vehicle/with expired tags).

Whyte did not get a chance to become a star at FAU because of the presence of Devin "Motor" Singletary. However, before leaving school a year early, the Loxahatchee, Florida native did earn second-team All-Conference USA nod as a returner (19-545-28.7, one TD in kickoffs) and honorable mention as a running back (134-866-6.5, eight TDs rushing; 10-160-16.0, two TDs receiving). Whyte was an honorable mention all-conference pick as a kick returner as a redshirt freshman in 2016 (39-1,002-25.7) and a sophomore in 2017 (23-568-24.7, one TD). He received some carries in those seasons (43-145-3.4, one TD in 2016; 55-347-6.3, two TDs in 2017) while also becoming a target in the passing game over time (5-21-4.2 in 2016; 7-46-6.6 in 2017; 10-160-16.0, two TDs in 2018).

Denmark began his career at VSU as he ended it at Tallahassee's James S. Rickards High School -– as a receiver. He caught seven passes at 97 yards (13.9 average) and a touchdown in six games as a true freshman, then started all 11 games in 2016 (22-240-10.6, two TDs). He only played in four games in 2017, catching one pass for 11 yards. Coaches moved him to defensive back as a senior, which paid off with second-team All-Gulf South Conference honors and notice from NFL scouts. He posted 55 tackles, eight for loss, three interceptions, and nine pass breakups as a full-time starter.
