'10 CA QB Nick Montana (Washington Commit)

[NDame77]

I don't think Nick would come to ND if was offered the same situation as his brother. I keep hearing how he likes USC...but it is still good to see a Montana doing well in football

Running back Malcolm Jones gained 178 yards in 18 carries for No. 9 Westlake Village Oaks Christian (4-0) during a 45-0 victory over host West Hills Chaminade (1-2). Quarterback Nick Montana completed 11 of 19 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns with one interception for the Lions. . . .

Nick is being counted among the top Jr QBs in So Cal.

Just the thought of a Montana playing QB at SC makes me ill.

I agree with you that Nick won't come here with the same offer his brother was given; however, these are two entirely two different situations.
From what I remember, Nate Montana did not play much in high school due to the style of offense at his school. Nick is a legitimate starter at a passing school. He is going to get plenty of offers barring no unfortunate injuries.

Montana Making Name for Himself

The name has a familiar ring, epecially for a quarterback. But Nick Montana, the 6-2, 180-pound junior from Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian, is making a name for himself as a legitimate college prospect, with one offer from a Pac-10 school and plenty of interest from programs around the country...

Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian quarterback Nick Montana (6-2, 185) has fit in just fine with the Lions offense. The junior quarterback has helped the Lions to a 5-0 record in 2008, despite rarely playing in the second half of what ends up being routs.

“It’s always great winning, but when you pull out at halftime, or before halftime, it gets a little frustrating, because you practice all week and want to keep playing. But we’re winning so that’s what matters,” said Montana.

And Montana knows a thing or two about winning, with Nick’s father, Joe, having won four Super Bowl titles with the San Francisco 49ers.

Now the younger Montana is finally getting to lead an offense of his own, and the Lions are prohibitive favorites to win yet another CIF-SS title.

The rapid development of Montana has also gotten his name added to the list of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2010. Stanford has already offered Montana, with several more schools in contact with him.

“UCLA, Oregon, Arizona, a lot of Pac-10 schools, have been talking with me,” Montana said. “A bunch of people are thinking I’m stuck on Notre Dame, too, because my dad went there and my brother is going there right now, and I’m pretty interested in them. But there are a lot of SEC schools I’m interested in, like Alabama and Tennessee and Big 12 schools like Oklahoma and Texas.”

In other words, Montana has a wide range of schools he’s interested in, and is in no real rush to make a decision.

hey at least he said he is pretty interested in us. from what i thought i had heard he wasnt really into nd at all and really loved usc so im glad to see that we can get our name in there too

Pretty unlikely SC offers Montana, their #1 QB target will likely be Pete Thomas from the San Diego area
