FIU’s Dylan Calero is a compact, Miami-grown linebacker with upside
Dylan Calero entered FIU as a 5-foot-10, 210-pound linebacker from Gulliver Prep, and FIU listed him as a freshman in 2024 and sophomore in 2025; the available roster notes say he did not see game action in 2024 and no season stats were posted. His appeal is the classic under-the-radar LB profile: local pedigree, a sturdy build for his frame, and room to develop into a downhill, special-teams-friendly defender. If you want immediate production, he’s still more projection than proof; if you want a developmental, high-motor fit, he’s interesting.
