Big-frame Bearcats tackle built on footwork, effort, and JUCO grit
Kendall Calhoun was a 6-7, 300-pound offensive lineman for Cincinnati who arrived as a junior-college transfer and was praised for his good footwork for his size, plus the hard-work, diligence, and 100% effort he said he would bring to the program. He was also rated a three-star prospect and a top-15 JUCO offensive tackle, which tells you the upside was real. If you need a lineman with length, movement skills, and a blue-collar edge, he fit the profile; if you want a proven week-to-week anchor, his limited game action at UC was the question mark.
