Freaky speed from the Ohio-bred 2025 defensive back, who owns one of the fastest 100M times I saw from any prospect in the Midwest this past outdoor track season. Galloway popped off an elite 10.48 100M in early April at the East Tigers Alumni Invitational, reinforcing his title as the #1 DB in Ohio and a Top 10 kid in one of the nation’s most fertile recruiting grounds. As a sophomore, Galloway placed 2nd in Ohio’s D2 state finals in both the 100 and 200M, running a 10.42 wind-aided 100M, as well as other times of 10.53 and 10.59, and 21.18, 21.26, and 21.32 in the 200M. This season, he once again placed second in the Ohio D2 finals in the 100M.
Posted 5 INTs and 3 TDs in 2023, including a pick-six, and holds 29 D1 offers and 20 P4 offers, with Kentucky, West Virginia, and Purdue getting OVs so far with a commitment date set for July 5th. The real-deal track speed shows up on tape in droves, and Galloway is also a three-phase contributor and playmaker with an impressive junior tape. Off the bat, I love his ability as a press corner. Physical, bully-like mentality who shows good technique and is itching to get his hands on a WR off the snap. Also able to play off-man, and shows loose hips, the has the speed to play aggressively in coverage and is rangy in pass defense, good ball skills, and is easily able to maintain phase with wideouts and gets out of his breaks with noticeable acceleration and ease. Plus, Galloway looks like he’s shot out of a cannon when he gets the ball in hand, is elusive and lethal in the open field, and is an explosive returner who uses the entire field to his advantage as a ball carrier. Freaky track speed is also a recipe for success on the gridiron, and Galloway is rich in that department. Can’t wait to see where he lands.
