Galloway started all 13 games and was named Third Team All-CAA. He finished second on the team in tackles with 78, including 41 solo stops. He recorded 8.5 tackles for loss, totaling 49 yards, with 4.0 sacks accounting for 40 yards. He added an interception, three pass breakups, and four quarterback hurries. In the season opener against Wofford on Sept. 7 he added two points with a safety. He was also recognized for his community efforts, earning a spot on the AFCA Allstate Good Works Team.
