South Hills running back Jacob Gallegos has transferred back to San Dimas it was confirmed Monday. Gallegos played at San Dimas last year but transferred to South Hills in March. He has opted to return to the Saints.
Last year Gallegos rushed for 1,668 yards and 16 touchdowns and also caught 13 passes for 304 yards and four scores under head coach Mark Holman.
The Saints went 7-6 last year overall and advanced to the third round of the CIF Division 9 playoffs before falling to Valley Christian.
Holman stepped down after the season and was replaced by Dylan O’Leary. O’Leary, a San Dimas alum and former Saints quarterback, is in the process of implementing a new offense. One that Gallegos will be a big part of.

Doesn’t South hills have a monster Sophomore RB, the kid got a lot of time as a freshmen and showed some flashes.
From T. Peterson: Yes, Jaylen Lang. He ran for 426 yards and 4 touchdowns last year as a freshman. Thay have a couple juniors returning too – Jimenez and Castellano. They should be fine.
It was a run heavy offense last year . They say new coach wants to go spread and toss the ball around . So the desire to go be the focal
Point somewhere new makes sense. Then if you get there and the program looks and feels subpar , it makes sense to return and adapt.
Trying to figure the hidden reasons for transfers such as this is like trying to unravel the exact state of affairs in the Middle East. All we can really know for sure is what lines up on opening night, and until then, it’s all rumor and innuendo. I’d like to see what would happen if they allowed kids to transfer from week to week during the season. Imagine how big the roster would be on teams that have made the finals and are heavily favored to win!
Come to think of it, if the NBA allowed guys like Charles Barkley to sign a five-minute contract with a team that’s five minutes from wrapping up its fourth win in the finals, the guy would finally get his ring!
