DAYTON – The University of Dayton men's basketball team and head coach Anthony Grant announce the addition of 6-foot-5 guard De'Shayne Montgomery to the roster for the upcoming 2025-26 campaign.
 
Montgomery began his career at Mount St. Mary's (2023-24) before transferring to the University of Georgia (2024-25). The Broward County, Fla. native will have two seasons to play for the Flyers.
 
In his lone season in Athens, Montgomery saw action in 17 games and averaged 6.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 15.5 minutes of action per contest. He posted four double-figure scoring games, including a 22-point showing against Charleston Southern. The guard also had a 12-point performance in SEC play against LSU.
 
Prior to his Georgia career, Montgomery shined at The Mount, winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year award. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native averaged 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.7 steals per contest. Montgomery finished the season with nine games of 20+ points, including a stretch of six of the Mount's final seven games. The guard reached double figures 18 times on the season, averaging 53.8 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from three.
 
Montgomery joins newcomer Jordan Derkack as part of the seven-man class that the Flyers already have on campus in preparation for the 2025-26 campaign.
