Rocky Calmus

Rocky Calmus was born in Tulsa and played linebacker and running back at Jenks High School, during the start of its run of six straight Class 6A titles. At Oklahoma (1998–2001), under John Blake and then Bob Stoops, he was a two-time consensus All-American (2000, 2001). He was a key starter on the 2000 team that beat Florida State 13–2 in the Orange Bowl for the national title. He won the Butkus Award in 2001. Tennessee drafted him in the third round, 77th overall, in 2002. He played three seasons for the Titans, signed with Indianapolis in 2005, and retired after that season because of injuries, with 89 tackles and two interceptions. As of 2010 he owned a landscaping business in Franklin, Tennessee. Tidbit: his uncle, Dick Calmus, pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs. The Oklahoman wrote on December 31, 2001: "When he arrived, after a stellar high school career at Jenks, Calmus expected success." The same article says: "Calmus is a four-year starter, a two-time All-American, the Butkus Award winner as the nation's best linebacker."
