As Inside NU continues to count down our top 10 Northwestern football players from 2022, we move on to No. 5 on the list: Bryce Gallagher. The junior led the Wildcat defense for the first time at the middle linebacker position, with both some positive and negative results.
Gavin Dorsey (8):
Stats: 100 tackles, 58 solo, five tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one pass breakup
In 2021, Gallagher got his first taste of the starting linebacker job. After his brother, Blake, and Paddy Fisher graduated, the Wildcats needed someone to step up beside Chris Bergin.
