Running back Bennett Galloway commits to NC State

After an excellent June on the recruiting trail, NC State picked up its first commitment of July on Friday, picking up a verbal from Chapin (SC) running back Bennett Galloway. He gives NC State two commits at running back for 2022.

Galloway is a bit unheralded at this point but if you haven’t learned to trust Dave Doeren and his staff on guys like this, I don’t know what to tell you. Galloway impressed at camp in Raleigh last month and if the staff offers a kid that they’ve seen up close like that, no doubt they’re confident that he can become a contributor.

Galloway, who is listed at 5’11 and 190, does not have a composite ranking, but is a three-star prospect in 247Sports’ evaluation. He ran a 4.45 40 at NC State’s camp. He also holds offers from Army and Navy, while State is the first power-conference school to offer.

NC State is up to 11 commitments for ‘22.
