Oklahoma Gets Legacy Commit from LB Casen Calmus

The son of All-American linebacker Rocky Calmus has committed to OU as a preferred walk-on.

Brent Venables landed his first legacy commitment on Friday.

Casen Calmus, the son of Butkus Award winner Rocky Calmus, announced via Twitter that he’s committed to Oklahoma. Rocky Calmus played for Venables at OU from 1999-2001 and was a two-time consensus All-American and won the Butkus in '01.

Calmus, a four-sport athlete at Brentwood Academy in Nashville, TN, said it was a “dream come true.”

The 5-foot-11, 192-pound Calmus, a member of the 2023 recruiting class, will be a preferred walk-on for the Sooners.

In 11 games this season, Calmus caught nine passes for 84 yards and a touchdown on offense, returned 14 punts for 102 yards on special teams, and totaled 24 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, one quarterback sack, one interception for a 63-yard touchdown and had seven passes defensed. He finished his senior year with two touchdowns.

Calmus has visited OU numerous times during his recruitment, with the most recent visit coming on Nov. 19 when the Sooners played Oklahoma State.
