Six years ago, Taveze Calhoun was a skinny high school kid with the respect of his peers on the football team and his teachers at school, but with little-to-no fanfare anywhere outside the bubble of the small town of Morton, Mississippi. He was hardly being recruited by anyone on the FBS level at all, let alone in the Southeastern Conference.
Luckily, one of his teammates had the interest of nearly every school around the country, including Mississippi State. It’s for that reason Dan Mullen found himself in the principal’s office of Morton High School.
