OU football: Neville Gallimore is Canadian by birth, Jamaican by heritage

NORMAN — Neville Gallimore is proud to be from the Canadian capital of Ottawa.

“I just always show love for my city,” Oklahoma’s big defensive lineman said this week.

But walk into the Gallimore home in eastern Ontario, about three hours north of Syracuse, New York, and you’re transported to Jamaica.

Gallimore was born in Canada but he’s Jamaican through and through.

“I love where I come from (and) I love where my parents come from because there’s so much rich tradition and value just in how they see life, they way they see things (and) people around them,” Gallimore said.
