Missoula County jail records show 21-year-old Nate Montana was booked into jail on a first offense DUI charge at 3:46 a.m. Friday and released about 30 minutes later after posting a $685 bond.

Nate Montana transferred from Notre Dame to the University of Montana in Missoula in February and is vying for the starting quarterback spot.

University of Montana Executive Vice President Jim Foley says the school will continue to monitor the judicial process and any discipline will be handled internally.

Montana was one of 11 Notre Dame athletes arrested on misdemeanor charges of underage drinking at a party in South Bend, Ind., last July.
