DURHAM – Duke men's lacrosse midfielder Nakeie Montgomery was selected by the Redwoods with the 19th overall pick in the 2022 Premier Lacrosse League College Draft Tuesday evening, broadcast live from the ESPN campus on ESPNU.
Montgomery, taken in the third round, is the sixth Blue Devil to be drafted into the Premier Lacrosse League since the inaugural draft in 2019. He will join former Blue Devil All-American midfielder Myles Jones on the Redwoods.
A 2021 USILA All-America first-team selection, Montgomery was a standout midfielder for the Blue Devils for the past five seasons. He finished his career ranked 28th in scoring with 87 goals and 67 assists for 154 points.
Running with the first midfield for much of his career, Montgomery is coming off his best season with 29 goals and 19 assists for 48 points. He registered seven hat tricks in 2022, including three hat tricks against ACC foes.
Montgomery helped the Blue Devils advance to the championship weekend three times during his career, including the NCAA runner-up in 2018. In his first two seasons, Montgomery amassed 55 points with 16 as a rookie and 39 in his sophomore campaign. As a senior, the Dallas native dished a career-best 22 assists and finished with 37 points.
The Premier Lacrosse League opens its fourth season June 4 in Albany, N.Y. Featuring eight teams in the league, the PLL will travel to 13 different cities over the course of the campaign, including a stop in Charlotte June 10-11.
