Penn State Football will be getting yet another visitor on campus this week. NittanyCentral has learned that West Virginia transfer Cornerback, Dawayne Galloway Jr. will be taking an official visit to Happy Valley this week. This news adds to an already jammed pack day for Matt Campbell and the Nittany Lions.
Galloway will visit with Noah King, and several other Nittany Lion prospects on January 7th-8th.

Could Galloway’s “4.3” Speed Land in State College?
As a prospect, Penn State was in on Galloway. However, he eventually landed at West Virginia. Out of Marion-Franklin High School in Columbus, Ohio Galloway was highly rated as a 4-star. Additionally, Galloway brings elite speed to the table. The high school track runner clocked a 4.3 40 yard dash in high school.
With Galloway’s speed and talent, he will be a high priority for Penn State to land. His visit in the first week of January could go a long way in helping Penn State land Galloway.
