Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime factor of $|G|$. Suppose that $G$ is solvable and $P$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. In this note, we prove that $P{\vartriangleleft}G$ and $G/P$ is nilpotent if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(1)^{2}$ divides $|G:\ker \unicode[STIX]{x1D711}|$ for all irreducible monomial $p$-Brauer characters $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ of $G$.
