Kevin Galloway was born Kevin Dwayne Galloway on May 23, 1988, to Catherine Terrell.
Galloway attended Sacramento Charter High School, in Sacramento, California, where he played high school basketball. He averaged 17.4 points and 8.0 rebounds per game as a senior and led Sacramento High to a 29-6 record and a No. 17 ranking in the state of California. He led the Dragons in points (591), three-point baskets (22), rebounds (272), blocks (93), steals (100) and assists (179). He recorded 10 double-doubles in points and rebounds during the year and scored a season-high 34 points on Dec. 6 against Foothill
Galloway spent his sophomore season at the College of Southern Idaho. He was fourth in the country in assists with 8.6 per game. He averaged 8.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in helping lead the Golden Eagles to a 30-2 record.
On April 16, 2008, Galloway made it official and signed to play for Kentucky.
As a junior at Kentucky, Galloway played in 30 games. On February 10, 2009, in a win over Florida, Galloway contributed career highs in rebounds (eight) and assists (nine) and, not-so-coincidentally, minutes (25). On February 17, 2009, against Vanderbilt, he played a career-high 30 minutes and scored a career-high 9 points.
In the off-season, Gillispie was fired and John Calipari was hired. Calipari brought in quality as well as quantity. Most recruiting observers rated UK’s incoming class as the nation’s best. However, Kentucky needed to drop several players to fit its roster within the NCAA’s 13-scholarship limit. Calipari informed Galloway that his basketball future would be better served elsewhere. Galloway expressed appreciation for how Calipari let him know it was best to leave. The UK coach mixed sober assessment with big-picture rationality.
Galloway transferred to Texas Southern where he finished his college career.
