Montano Selected as a NFF Honor Society Member
Apr 21, 2020 | Football
NEW ORLEANS – Former Tulane University football player Christian Montano was honored by the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society. The Society recognizes academic and athletic performance.
The national list includes student-athletes who maintained at least a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and were significant contributors throughout the 2019 season.
Members of the Honor Society must have either completed their final year of playing eligibility in 2019 while meeting all NCAA-mandated progress toward degree requirements or be on pace to graduate this academic year if they declared early for the NFL Draft.
The Orange, Connecticut, native's recognition adds to a list of accolades which also includes being named as a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year and the 2019 Walter Camp Football Foundation Connecticut Player of the Year.
Montano excelled in the classroom as a graduate student during the 2019 season. He also played a key role in guiding the Green Wave to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in program history.
During his lone season at Tulane, Montano started every game at center and helped pave the way for the nation's No. 11 rushing attack.
Montano will look to extend his football career, as he hopes to hear his name called in the 2020 NFL Draft this upcoming weekend.
