Player Review

OFFER HIM NOW!!!

Calcagno did really well at VEGAS XXIX on January 14-15, 2017. He is a massive man with tons of power in his body and his snap. Penn St. is getting a good one with this Long Snapper from the Chicago area. When he follows through all of the way and makes sure he gets back up quickly, he is as good as anyone in the country. Upside is very good on him as he will just get bigger and stronger over the next four to five years. Excellent attitude and personality. Coaches will love Calcagno.

Calcagno is a monster physically and did really well at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in IL on September 25, 2016. Built thick and he has great power throughout his body. Ball is crisp and he is snapping with very good speed right now. He has the ability to block and get his head up quickly after a great snap. In college, he will most likely drop a tad bit of weight to get his body downfield a little quicker, but right now, since he also plays line in the CCL, he has to maintain his size. Kid works hard and has very good upside. Love his attitude. The harder he snaps, the better he is. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him leave VEGAS XXIX with a win and a scholarship.

Calcagno had a great couple days FBU TOP GUN Camp and at the TOP 12 & EVENT ELITE Camp at the IMG Academy in FL. Body is thick and he is as strong as a bull. Kid has power throughout and uses it well when he is snapping. Love to see him use all of that massive power with each and every snap. If he can snap at full speed every time AND get his eyes through with each snap, he could win XXIX...easily. Once he fully focuses on Long Snapping and doesn't have to be 260 to play lineman, he will just improve even more. Great attitude that coaches will love. He will be a leader in the locker room and on the field. Penn St. got a good one in Calcagno.

Accomplishments

VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .72
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.35
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 22.86

All Long Snappers were tested on The Rubio Target. Each Long Snapper was tested on 12 punt snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set) and 12 pat snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set). Once the Long Snapper has completed the test, they earn an RSI which is the fairest and most accurate way to judge a Long Snapper by numbers. Please note: the RSI does not account for athleticism, spiral or mentality.

RSI (Rubio Standard Index): The RSI is the score divided by the average speed on The Rubio Target. You may obtain 2 bonus points for an average of .75-.79, 2 more bonus points for an average of .70-.74 and an additional 2 more bonus points if you average below .70.
