Adelbert Raymond Montgomery[1][2] (February 1, 1909 – May 26, 1966) was an American football guard at the University of Pittsburgh. He was a consensus All-American in 1929.
Montgomery was a native of West Virginia.[3] He played for the Pittsburgh Panthers football team under coach Jock Sutherland during the 1927, 1928 and 1929 seasons.[4] In his senior year he helped the team go 9-0 that earned a trip to the Rose Bowl.[3] That year, as a 6-foot, 1-inch, 188-pound guard, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, having received first-team honors from several publications and organizations including Collier's Weekly (Grantland Rice) and United Press (UP).[5]
