Prospect Bio

From Santa Margarita Catholic High School in California, Grant Calcaterra was a four-star recruit and No. 6 ranked tight end in the 2017 class. He started his collegiate career at Oklahoma where he was honorable mention All-Big 12 as a true freshman and first-team as a sophomore. However, it looked like his career was over mid-way through the 2019 season when he decided to retire due to concussions. Calcaterra had a change of heart in 2020 while training to become a firefighter. He joined SMU and was back on the field for the 2021 campaign. He started every game and hauled in 38 passes for 465 yards and four touchdowns on his way to second-team all-conference honors. Calcaterra is an athletic tight end who will specialize as a pass-catcher while spending time lined up in the slot. There are certainly concerns about his concussion history but that aside, he has a chance to become a modestly productive receiving threat in the NFL.
