After leaving LSU, Montgomery was picked in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. He spent three years in the NFL followed by two more seasons in the Canadian Football League.

"It feels great to come back and finish what I started," Montgomery said. "I promised my high school teachers and my mom that I would come back and graduate from LSU. Education has always been so important to my mom so that's a big reason as to why I came back.

"But more than anything else, I wanted to get my degree to solidify myself, not only through my athletic ability, but by bettering myself through educational achievements.

"My LSU degree will open many doors for me and will allow me to continue to make an impact in the community and the next generation of young people. I can now say I'm a college graduate and use that to inspire others to chase their dreams. I can't thank LSU enough for sticking with me and helping me finish what I started."

Had a few classes with him back in the day, congratulations.

Dude, really was all about Sonic, I caught him watching it in class one day

Real cool guy, Mingo was in that class too. Actually got them to take a pic looking like they were both tackling me, wow memories.

The one person who downvoted this is a sad, sad individual. Be happy for others.
