Being recruited by Arizona wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings out of high school when Cummings was at San Jose State, was only the connection the wideout Montana Lemonious-Craig had to the Wildcats before transferring to the UA after three seasons at Colorado.

After his three years in Boulder, the UA football program’s connection grew stronger with Lemonious-Craig when he was entering the transfer portal, as both parties had each other’s best interest in mind — the Wildcats get a third receiver and the 6-foot-2 junior receiver gets a better opportunity at blending in.

“For me, when I jumped in the portal, it was more so where just where the best fit for me was and I wanted to go with my first mind in terms of being able to fit into an offense and have a role,” Lemonious-Craig said.

Switching over to Jedd Fisch’s pro-style offense, Lemonious-Craig, who has only been in Tucson for a few months since transferring in late May, described his new offense as “complex”, and that the “NFL-style offense is very great to be involved in.”

Fisch noted that one of the reasons why he added Lemonious-Craig was that "he has experience to quickly pick up offense" after learning a new system each year he has played. After being in college football for a fourth year now, the transition to a new system is something that the projected starting Z receiver is capable of handling.
