Coming out of high school, Calhoun was rated as a three star recruit, where he held offers from schools such as Kentucky, Boston College, Rutgers, Duke, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Michigan and Duke.[1][2] Initially, Calhoun decided to commit to play college football for the West Virginia Mountaineers.[3][4] However, after pledging his commitment to the Mountaineers, Calhoun flipped his commitment to play for the Cincinnati Bearcats.[5][6] However a few months later, Calhoun decided to de-commit from the Cincinnati Bearcats.[7][8] Ultimately, Calhoun made his final decision to commit to play college football for the Michigan Wolverines.[9][10]
