Background

Gallagher became NU’s first 2019 commit all the way back in September 2017, when Justin Jackson was Northwestern’s Ball Carrier and the Wildcats were preparing for a season-defining trip to Madison. He’s the younger brother of Wildcat WILL Blake Gallagher, who tallied 120 tackles as a sophomore in 2018.
