About this speaker
A former all-conference player for the Hawks and veteran of the Monmouth coaching staff, Jeff Gallo was named Offensive Coordinator In the Spring of 2019. The 2025 season will be Gallo's 21st on the Monmouth sidelines, sixth as Offensive Coordinator and second as Associate Head Coach. Gallo also coaches the Monmouth tight ends, a position he has held since 2007.
Under Gallo, who was a finalist for FootballScoop.com’s FCS Coordinator of the Year award, Monmouth’s offense put together a historic 2024 season, establishing itself as one of the most explosive units in the FCS. The Hawks led the CAA and ranked among the nation’s top 10 in multiple statistical categories, finishing first in the FCS in total offense and fourth-down conversions while ranking second in scoring offense and passing offense. Quarterback Derek Robertson orchestrated the attack, earning CAA Offensive Player of the Year honors after leading the nation in passing yards per game and total offense, while finishing as a finalist for the Walter Payton Award. Running back Sone Ntoh powered the ground game, leading the FCS in scoring, total touchdowns, and rushing touchdowns. Monmouth made history with its first-ever FBS victory, a thrilling 45-42 win over FIU, and capped the year by knocking off two ranked opponents, including a 40-33 victory over No. 8/9 Villanova and a 55-47 road win at No. 20/18 Stony Brook. The Hawks’ success was recognized with seven offensive All-CAA selections, including first-team all-conference honors for Robertson and Ntoh. That duo earned All-American consideration along with freshman All-American awards for Rodney Nelson and Tra Neal.
