Brock Edward Monty (b. April 20, 1998) is a walk-on defensive back from Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School. He also was recruited by some teams as a dual-threat quarterback prospect, the position at which he excelled most at the prep level.

Monty also attracted interest from Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma State, according to 247 Sports, and he had offers from Cornell and Harvard. Michigan supposedly offered him preferred walk-on status. He redshirted in 2016, earning the K-State’s Overachiever Award as the top freshman in strength and conditioning.

As a sophomore in 2013, Monty led the Crusaders to a 10-2 mark and a trip to the Kansas Class 5A semifinals, where the Crusaders were beaten by Salina South. He was an All-City League quarterback after he passed for 1,254 yards and rushed for 613.

After a dip in production in his junior year, Monty threw for more than 2,000 yards and rushed for more than 500 during his senior season, leading the Crusaders back to the 5A playoffs, where they were upset in the first round.

In all, he helped the Crusaders to earn a combined 27-14 record over his four years and lettered all four of those years under head coach Dan Adelhardt.

Monty was a three-time honorable mention all-state honoree as a defensive back by The Topeka Capital-Journal, while he earned all-state honors from The Wichita Eagle in 2015.

He combined for more than 5,000 passing yards, 2,800 rushing yards and 80 total touchdowns during his career.

Monty also earned honorable mention accolades as a quarterback from the Eagle as a sophomore and junior. He lettered in basketball and track, earning all-state honors.
