Former UCF quarterback Rob Calabrese is back with the Knights, except this time he is now a graduate assistant.
Calabrese, who played quarterback/wide receiver for the Knights from 2008-2012 has been hired by O’Leary and his coaching staff to serve as a graduate assistant for the Knights. Calabrese started at quarterback for the Knights as a true freshman in 2008 and saw action at QB in 2009 and 2010 before suffering an injury. After recovering from injury in 2011, Calabrese returned to the team in 2012 as a wide receiver.
“To be successful in this program you’ve got to be responsible and you’ve got to be accountable. There were times in my years being there, there were players who weren’t and that sometimes hurt the program. … I think coach has finally gotten everyone to buy into the program and it’s really starting to work,” Calabrese told the Orlando Sentinel.
Calabrese will look to build the Knights program even more, coming off of the single most winningest season in UCF history.
