Jeremy Jermaine Gallon (born February 9, 1990) is a former American football wide receiver. He played college football at the University of Michigan, finishing second all-time in school history in receptions and receiving yards. He also has the all-time record for most receiving yards in a season, 1373, and the most receiving yards in a single game, 369. Gallon was drafted by the New England Patriots in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He also played professionally in the X-League (Japan).

High school career

Gallon played high school football as a quarterback, running back and safety for Apopka High School in Apopka, Florida. In three years of varsity football, he gained 5,905 yards of total offense (4,281 rushing yards and 1,624 passing yards), scored 53 rushing touchdowns and threw for 15 touchdowns.[1]

Gallon had been a running back as a sophomore, but he was moved to quarterback in his junior year. Although he had never played at the position previously, Gallon became the 2007 All-Central Florida quarterback. He totaled 1,613 rushing yards (and 23 rushing touchdowns) and 1,071 passing yards (and eight passing touchdowns) in his first season at the position. He also completed 63.6% of his passes and threw zero interceptions during the 2007 season.[2] His high school coach Rick Darlington said, "He's the next Pat White. Jeremy never throws a pick, he completes passes, he makes big plays, and he may be the smartest player we have. He's kind of freaky."[2]

During his senior year, Gallon totaled 2,383 yards of total offense (1,830 rushing yards and 553 passing yards).[1][3][4][5] He rushed for 304 yards on 21 carries and scored three touchdowns in Florida's high school Kickoff Classic in 2008.[6][7]

Gallon was rated by Rivals.com as a four-star prospect and the No. 11 wide receiver in the country. He was also selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and was named the Orlando Sentinel's Offensive Player of the Year as a junior.[1][8]

Commitment and 2010 season

Gallon in Sept. 2012

In June 2008, Gallon announced his commitment to the University of Michigan.[9][10] He enrolled at Michigan in the fall of 2009, but he did not see action as a redshirt during the 2009 football season. In 2010, Gallon made his debut for the Wolverines as a redshirt freshman. He led the 2010 Michigan Wolverines with 27 kickoff returns for 589 yards, an average of 21.8 yards per return.

2011 season

As a redshirt sophomore in 2011, Gallon was the Wolverines' leading receiver with eight receptions through the first four games of the season. Playing against Notre Dame on September 10, 2011, he caught two passes for 78 yards, including a 64-yard catch late in the fourth quarter to set up Michigan's game-winning touchdown.[1] After the Notre Dame game, Ned Hayes of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "What I'm still trying to figure out is how Jeremy Gallon got so wide open on the 64-yard catch and run that set up the game-winning touchdown."[12] Describing Gallon's last-minute catch against Notre Dame, Tim Rohan wrote in The Michigan Daily:

One-hundred fourteen thousand, eight hundred and four pairs of eyes slowly turned toward Jeremy Gallon. They widened when they realized no Notre Dame jerseys were in the picture they'll remember forever. 'Oh my god. Where did he come from?' said one man standing in the South endzone. ... Gallon blended in with his teammates on the sideline, until a blue blur came streaking out of nowhere.[13]

The following week, Gallon had three receptions for 43 yards and an 80-yard punt return that was negated by a penalty. Gallon was awarded a game ball by Jim Knight of AnnArbor.com for his performance against Eastern Michigan.[14]
