Montgomery dismissed from Iowa State, Thomas to transfer
Two key Iowa State contributors will not be part of the team in 2016.
The Cyclones dismissed wide receiver D’Vario Montgomery and announced Wednesday that running back Joshua Thomas was transferring.
Montgomery was dismissed for a violation of team rules. He had 27 catches for 335 yards and three scores in 2015. Those numbers were a big drop from 2014, when he had 44 catches for 605 yards and two touchdowns. While he was fourth on the team in catches two years ago, he led the Cyclones in yardage.
The redshirt junior transferred to Iowa State from South Florida.
Thomas, a redshirt freshman in 2015, was third on the team with 295 rushing yards and had seven touchdowns.
Iow State finished 3-9 in 2015 and fired coach Paul Rhoads near the end of the season. The school hired Toledo’s Matt Campbell to replace him.
