speedy, sideline-to-sideline linebacker with Florida roots
Rodney Gallon was a 6-foot, 210-pound outside linebacker from Tallahassee’s Lincoln High who was known for range, speed, and a downhill motor — his prep profile highlighted a 4.50 40 time and senior-year production of 135 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 3 fumble recoveries. He arrived at Florida State as a four-star recruit and a top-10 outside linebacker nationally, which tells you the appeal: active hands, pursuit speed, and a fit for a defense that wants linebackers who can chase plays from hash to hash.
