Gallegos to On3 on his finalists
USC: “Always been a big USC fan growing up because I’m from California and the direction that Lincoln Riley has the program headed is big time for them.”
Michigan: “Michigan has the biggest winning culture in college football and with a veteran coach like Harbaugh you know what you’re going to get out of them and that’s competing for a national championship.”
Notre Dame: “Notre Dame’s tradition is unmatched and with the value of getting a degree from there it could set you up great for life after football as well.”
Oregon: “With Coach Lanning coming in and having a great first year as the head coach I think he’s set the standard for Oregon and they’re only going to keep getting better.”
Oklahoma: “Brent Venables is arguably one of the best defensive minds in college football so playing for him would work in my favor being a defensive player. He’s guiding Oklahoma down the right path and I’m excited to see what they can do next year.”
