High school career

Gallon played for high school football as a quarterback, running back and safety for Apopka High School in Apopka, Florida. He had 5,905 yards of total offense (4,281 passing yards and 1,624 passing yards), scored 53 touchdowns, and threw for 15 touchdowns in three years of varsity football.

Gallon had been a running back as a sophomore, but in his junior year, he was switched to quarterback. Gallon was the 2007 All-Central Florida quarterback, despite the fact that he had never been at the position before. In his first season at the position, he had 1,613 passing yards (and 23 rushing touchdowns) and 1,071 passing yards (and eight passing touchdowns). During the 2007 season, he completed 66% of his passes and threw zero interceptions. "He's the next Pat White," his high school coach Rick Darlington said. Jeremy never throws a pick, he completes passes, he makes big plays, and he may be the best player we have. He's just a little freaky."

Gallon finished with 2,383 yards of total offense (1,830 total yards and 553 passing yards) during his senior season. In Florida's high school Kickoff Classic in 2008, he passed for 304 yards on 21 attempts and scored three touchdowns.
