Calhoun mans the middle of the Pirates defense, and he put up some very impressive tape for one of the top programs in the entire state. He is a lighter and twitchier linebacker prospect that can cover, trigger in the box and provide a nice pass rush from the second level. He is a very built prospect that passes the eye test, and shows elite closing speed outside the tackles, breaks quickly to ball carriers without taking false steps and explodes through contact at the POA while a true banger in the box with plus cover abilities. Calhoun has seen some offers roll in early on in the Spring from SJSU and Boise State, and is another kid that should see more schools get into the mix as he progresses through the rest of  the off-season.

Calhoun’s a dominant combo WR/DB at 6’1” 190 lbs. and one of the most slept prospects in northern California. He’s a pure football player with a wide skillset and natural instincts on both sides of the ball. Possesses an aggressive playing style that is fast, physical, and has a knack for making big plays in critical moments. Think he projects more on the defensive side at the next level where he can use his quick key and play diagnoses to anticipate and use his short area burst to break on the ball. From his safety position, he’s well coached and shows good eye discipline to make quick decisive reads and then trigger. He comes downhill hard and brings heavy contact not only as a tackler but when taking on blockers as well. Takes smart angles to the ball carrier and is a strong one on one open field tackler. No offers yet but expect that to change given his D1 talent and ability.
