Brian Galligan, born in the Hudson Valley, New York, has had a lifelong passion for sports—especially football. Fascinated by the nuances of the game and player potential, he pursued formal training in football scouting and analytics through Sports Management Worldwide. There, he earned certifications and learned under notable professionals like Russ Lande and Mark Dominik, which expanded his knowledge and opened doors to key networking opportunities.
Attending the NFL Combine and engaging with industry veterans led to interviews and his first hands-on scouting experience in California with HUB Football, run by Tom Goodhines. Continued networking introduced him to Connie Carberg, the NFL’s first female scout, which led to his entry into the advanced Phil Savage Scouting School and a scouting internship at the Cajun AllStar Bowl with Bryan Beasley.
Brian’s passion for football has deepened with each step, shaping his commitment to creating Top Dawg Coverage, a reliable source for football scouting and analysis.
