Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has made his first in-home visit of the season to Findlay (Ohio) four-star interior offensive lineman and Buckeyes commit Luke Montgomery.

Day was joined by his offensive line coach Justin Frye.

Montgomery is an early enrollee that has already paid for admission to Ohio State, which is why the coaches can visit him before the contact period.

Montgomery is the No. 39 overall prospect and No. 1 interior offensive lineman in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He has an On3 NIL Valuation of $197K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
