It was a precarious situation whenever Grant Calcaterra was missing from action during the 2019 season without much reason.
Calcaterra then came out with a personal video Twitter detailing that he was stepping away from football due to concussion issues suffered during his playing years at Oklahoma. He took some big hits on passes from Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts before hanging them up.
Less than a year later, Calcaterra announced he was returning to play football. It just wasn’t going to be back at Oklahoma and that he was entering the transfer portal.
Three months have passed and now the former Sooners tight end has a new home in the SEC. Calcaterra announced on Twitter that he was headed to play at Auburn.
A year ago, I would’ve never pictured my life the way is it now. I don’t believe in bad situations, just opportunities for growth. I’m more than grateful for this past year, but even more excited for my future challenges. Thanks again Sooner Nation. #WarEagle pic.twitter.com/su891vUMx7
