Expert Analysis
Cory Lemer | Prep Redzone Scout
The East Meadow prospect stands at 5’9″, 155 pounds displaying a slim build for a Defensive Back. The Section Six prospect can add good weight to improve his frame.
Galiano plays a number of positions including DB, RB, OLB, he is a solid athlete in all three aspects of his game. More film was found on the RB side of his game where he displayed a solid burst with a good IQ.
Galiano’s position will likely switch to RB in the recent updates of our 2026 rankings, but his frame and decent speed show the potential ability to drop back in coverage even at an OLB position.

Read EvaluationJared Valluzzi | Prep Redzone Scout
East Meadow loves to run the ball and display a ground-and-pound approach. Galiano fit that mold well and had a nice junior season for the Jets. He earned an All-County Honorable Mention; he is a very tough runner with great vision. He isn’t the biggest, and his speed won’t blow you away, but Galiano is a true football player who loves to grind it out and get extra yards. He had numerous impressive runs with yards after contact. He’s got a good burst, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a 1,000+ yard rusher this season for East Meadow.
