Joining the Mountaineers as a four-star recruit out of Western Pennsylvania in Neal Brown’s 2023 class, Gallagher appeared in 38 games over his Mountaineer tenure. He caught 28 passes for 283 yards this season and rushed 14 times for 83 yards, but did not find the end zone during the 2025 season.

The pinnacle of Gallagher’s career came in the 2024 season when he scored the game-winning touchdown against Kansas, his first career score.
Gallagher shared more about his feelings about his time in West Virginia.
“Nothing but love and respect for the old Gold&Blue. Thank you West Virginia for the great memories🫶🏼,” posted Gallagheron Jan. 1.
