Rafael Gaglianone (born 26 December 1994) is a Brazilian gridiron football placekicker who is currently a free agent. He was most recently a member of the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Gaglianone attended Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee.[1] He received scholarship offers from North Carolina State University and the University of Wisconsin, choosing Wisconsin because, “[he] had been in the south for too long.”[2] After finishing his college career, the Big Ten posted on Twitter that he would be returning to Brazil to "work for a company that bridges opportunities for international students to receive scholarships in the USA."[3]
