Jeremy Jermaine Gallon (born February 9, 1990) is an American football wide receiver for the Washington Valor of the Arena Football League (AFL). He was most recently with the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Michigan. He currently plays for Nojima Sagamihara Rise in Japan X-league.
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.
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. 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."
During his senior year, Gallon totaled 2,383 yards of total offense (1,830 rushing yards and 553 passing yards). He rushed for 304 yards on 21 carries and scored three touchdowns in Florida's high school Kickoff Classic in 2008.
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.
