After turning down MLB, Carson Montgomery excited to get started at FSU

Carson Montgomery committed to Florida State all the way back in 2017, the summer after his freshman season.

Now, he’s ready to get to Tallahassee after turning down some offers in the 2020 MLB draft.

On Sunday, Montgomery spoke with Tomahawk Nation for an exclusive inside look into the draft process and his plans going forward.

Going into the draft, Montgomery was rated as the best high school pitcher in all of Florida and the fifth-best RHP from the entire prep class, per Perfect Game. Many saw the Windermere native as a late first to early second round pick.
