The NFL running back may not be the most imposing of league numbers, however, he has done enough in his career to earn himself some enviable accolades. Ty Montgomery is a former consensus All-American and two-time Pac-12 champion who played college football at the prestigious Stanford University. He was later selected by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft as a wide receiver. After switching to running in the 2016 season, it feels like the Mississippi powerhouse still has a lot to give in its career.
Ty Montgomery’s Bio
Born Ty Anthony Montgomery in Jackson, Mississippi, on January 22, 1993, he spent part of his childhood in Texas. Anthony’s high school education was obtained at St. Mark’s School of Texas in Dallas. Young Ty has always been a sports enthusiast as he was involved in track, basketball, football, baseball and lacrosse.
He excelled in different positions on the legridiron, graduating with 118 catches and 36 total touchdowns. Ty has also won medals for his track and field efforts, such as gold for the 100 meter and 200 meter dashes at the 2011 CPS Championships.
Moving to the famous Stanford University in 2011, Ty Montgomery decided to focus on football. His freshman year brought him good records, playing on special and offensive teams. He continued to improve his stats in his sophomore year with better receptions and kicking returns. By his junior year in 2013, Ty was named an All-Consensus All-American primarily for his enviable kick return stats. He finished the campaign with 61 receptions, 10 touchdowns and many more enviable records.
After a somewhat less impressive senior season at Stanford, Ty Montgomery was drafted in 2015 as the Green Bay Packers’ 94th overall pick. He signed his contract on May 21, 2015, and made his first appearance against the NFL’s Chicago Bears on September 13. He also recorded 2 receiving touchdowns.
After starting the 2016 season with limited playing time, he finally got his chance to turn back the clock when injuries sidelined the likes of James Starks and Eddie Lacy. He would go on to play the rest of the campaign in this position, recording impressive stats including 457 rushing yards, 348 receiving yards, 44 receptions, and 3 rushing touchdowns.
The following season was a poor season for TyMontgomery and that was largely due to injuries. He broke his ribs twice during the season and was eventually sidelined for the remainder of the campaign after suffering a season-ending wrist injury.
Wife and family of Ty Montgomery
Ty was born to football-loving parents TyMontgomery Sr. and Lisa Montgomery. Ty’s parents divorced when he was 3 and he lived with his mom. However, both parents remained very active in his life and were his first football tutors.
Montgomery was the only biological child of his parents’ union, although he had a brother-in-law and a sister from his father’s later marriage. Also, growing up, his mother welcomed many children into their home, so the running back never really had to suffer from loneliness.
Ty has been married to Remy Klamer since 2017. Remy also got into high school athletics where she was on the school track team. She earned a degree in interior design from Baylor University and another in business administration from Naveen Jindal School of Management in 2017.
Online reports reveal that Ty is married to a woman named Lexie Dierker. These two should not be confused. Lexie is also in a relationship with another football player who is also named Ty Montgomery but he does not play for the Green Bay Packers like Remy’s Ty. They are two separate couples.
Ty and Remy were married in Hidden Vines Chapel, Grapevine, Texas on March 3, 2017. On June 13, 2018, they welcomed their first child, a boy they named Stone Anthony Montgomery.
