He's the third player in the last week to re-open his recruitment after a verbal commitment to the Purdue Boilermakers which include LeBron Hill and 2026 four-star recruit Oscar Rios.
Galloway Jr is currently ranked as the No. 192 overall prospect in the 2025 class, No. 22 cornerback and No. 8 in the state of Ohio.
Here's a scouting analyst on Galloway Jr:
He brings excellent track speed to the football field. Speed shows up in his closing ability and also after he gets his hands on the ball both as a defensive back and a wide receiver or return man," wrote 247Sports recruiting analyst Allen Trieu. "Will be physical at the line and junior tape shows experience in off-man as well as press-man."
