Elite Four Star CB Dawayne Galloway Recaps Syracuse Visit /

In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Class of 2025 Columbus (OH) Marion Franklin cornerback Dawayne Galloway is one of the best players in his cycle. He is a consensus four star and top 200 overall prospect. The 6-1, 175 pound corner is ranked as high as the 80th best player in the class by ESPN and as low as the 193rd best by 247Sports. Galloway spend Saturday on the Syracuse campus for a visit.

"Went really good," Galloway said. "Finally got to connect with the entire staff. Got to hangout with coach Fran and Ross and basically everyone on the staff. We went to the basketball game and kicked it and had dinner after. The best part was just being able to see that this is an elite staff coach Fran put together."

Galloway has a well established relationship with Fran Brown, dating back to Brown's time at Georgia. The two have developed a strong bond, which was only enhanced during the visit on Saturday. Especially being able to spend time with the rest of the staff.

"We were just talking about life and Syracuse and family," Galloway said. "Catching up and talking about the future. It felt real good."

Beyond that, Galloway was able to attend Syracuse basketball's win over NC State in the JMA Wireless Dome. He enjoyed his experience.

"It was pretty legit," Galloway said. "We had fun and it was electric."

Galloway already thought highly of Syracuse because of his connection to coach Brown. The visit only enhanced that interest.

"I love that place," Galloway said. "For sure top five."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
