Gallagher is one of new wide receiver coach Brennan Marion’s first offers since taking the job last week.
Here is what 247Sports recruiting analyst Brian Dohn had to say about Gallagher in his scouting report:
Elite level athlete and two-sport star. Has length and frame to fill out to 195 pounds. First-team all-state in basketball as a freshman and versatile athlete in football. Can play safety, linebacker or receiver depending on physical growth. Explosive and runs well. High level change of direction and body control. Very good ball skills. Continued strength growth throughout frame will benefit development greatly. Produced in big way on offense (61 touches, 883 yards) and defense (38 tackles). Starter at high level Power 5 program.
A versatile athlete like Gallagher is exactly the type of player Steve Sarkisian is looking to add to Texas’ 2023 recruiting class.
