DB/WR Noah Montoya – Class of 2031, Quist Middle School (CO)

Colorado’s Noah Montoya is a dynamic two-way player who excels at both defensive back and wide receiver. At 5’2” and 97 pounds, Noah may be undersized compared to some of his competition, but his high football IQ, quickness, and relentless work ethic make him one of the most versatile playmakers in his class. His offseason was spent training with elite coaches and even included time at IMG Academy, which sharpened his skills and boosted his confidence heading into the season.

Noah is as impressive in the classroom as he is on the field. A straight-A student who consistently makes Honor Roll, he understands that academics are the foundation for athletic success at the next level. He wakes up at 5 AM to train before school and has embraced his role as both a leader and motivator for his team. With championship experience from playing up with older groups, Noah has returned to his grade level with a goal of leading his squad to their first-ever title. With his sights set on a rematch against the team that knocked them out of last year’s playoffs, Noah is determined to make this season one to remember.
