Nick is the youngest son of former Notre Dame and NFL great Joe Montana -- he's not to be confused with his older brother Nate who was a "walk-on" QB for Notre Dame for a couple of seasons.
Nick has had a circuitous route to Tulane. He first signed with the University of Washington out of high school where he "red-shirted" his freshman season. He saw spot duty his second season with the Huskies passing for 226 yards (24 - 42 passing) connecting on 3 TD passes and 2 interceptions in six games.
Nick then transferred to Mt. San Antonio Junior College where he played this past season. Montana threw for 2,652 yards and 22 TD's last year -- leading the Mounties to a 11-1 season.
Tulane will be his third school -- sound familiar? -- here's a link to a video interview this past week:
