WR/ATH Rodney Gallagher

Rodney Gallagher is the hometown talent that Penn State Football has to keep instate. Gallagher is a Top-100 recruit in the nation and ranked as the second-best prospect in Pennsylvania.

James Franklin loves versatile athletes that can translate into multiple positions once on campus. Gallagher is projected as a wide receiver currently. That can all change based on how his body fills out.

Gallagher has a list of offers from over 20 schools and growing. The offers include many big hitters. Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oregon are all interested in landing Gallagher.

Penn State Football has an early lead with Gallagher. He is scheduled to visit on April 30th. This visit will be Gallaghers’ fifth to Happy Valley, easily the most of the interested schools.

Gallagher is key to a class that is lacking in skill position players.
