Calhoun, a 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback, entered the transfer portal from Utah. Alabama will be his third school in three years, with Calhoun spending the 2023 college football season as a redshirt freshman with the Michigan Wolverines.

Calhoun totaled 21 tackles, nine pass breakups, and one interception with the Utes in 2024. He will have three seasons of eligibility remaining once he gets to Alabama.

He was a four-star cornerback prospect from Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, Ohio when he committed and signed with the Michigan Wolverines as a member of its 2023 recruiting class.

Allen Trieu, national recruiting analyst for 247 Sports, wrote about Calhoun during his recruitment,

"Solid measureables. Has size to match up on outside receivers. Former receiver who showed the anticipation and ball skills to intercept a lot of passes during his high school career. Also showed he could turn defense into offense as a senior, scoring on several interception returns. Has the agility to play man to man on an island. Has adequate recovery and long speed but can continue to work on that. High school coaches have raved about work ethic and approach to the game. Should continue to improve technically and has a good physical skill set to work with. Projects safely as a Power Five starter and impact player."Calhoun entered the transfer portal on December 10 and visited Alabama as the Crimson Tide began bowl prep for the Reliaquest Bowl against the Michigan Wolverines on December 31.
