Dawayne Galloway is one of the best high school prospects in the state of Ohio. He’s already earned four-star status and is ranked No. 142 overall from the 2025 class by the On3 Industry Ranking. And since he’s a talented football player from Ohio, it didn’t take long for Kentucky associate head coach Vince Marrow to take note.
Galloway was offered by the Wildcats back in September, received an in-home visit from Marrow in January, and then unofficially visited UK in February. Next, he’ll officially visit the program later this month. Galloway will be in Lexington from June 18-20 for his official. KSR first reported the news on Saturday night.
Along with Kentucky, Galloway has four other official visits currently scheduled. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound cornerback begins his official to West Virginia today and will also make stops at Purdue (June 7), Syracuse (June 14), and Penn State (June 21).
Galloway is down to a Top 12 list of schools, which he announced in late February. Kentucky made the cut, as did Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, Central Florida, Penn State, Texas A&M, Michigan, and Syrcause. But so far, only five of those dozen are set to receive official visits. Nearby Ohio State has been in the mix but has yet to extend a scholarship offer.
Of note, Galloway will officially visit Kentucky at the same time as four-star wide receiver Andrew Marsh out of Texas. Marsh is ranked No. 61 overall in the 2025 class and is being recruited by UK’s new wide receivers coach Daikiel Shorts. The elite pass-catcher has additional OVs locked in with Southern California (June 7), Texas (June 14), and Oklahoma (June 21). Marsh officially visited Washington in May.
June was already shaping up to be a significant month of recruiting for Kentucky’s staff. With Galloway in the mix too, it just got that much more important. The Wildcats currently have six 2025 commits, including one other defensive back in four-star safety Martels Carter.
