Four-star cornerback Dawayne Galloway becomes a part of the Purdue recruiting class
Galloway, who attends Marion-Franklin High School in Columbus, Ohio, is a versatile athlete involved in both football and track. Notably, his exceptional speed, demonstrated by running a 10.48-second 100m and 21.56-second 200m, stands out on the field.
