Colby McCalister (b. March 7, 2004) is an instinctive and experienced defensive back from Clear Brook High School in Houston, Texas, who is majoring in business administration. Entering 2025, he is still recovering from a late-season injury and is unavailable for Farmageddon, but hopefully will be back on the field relatively soon.
McCalister redshirted and did not see playing time during the 2022 Big 12 Championship season.
In 2023, he saw action in all 13 games during his first season on the field, including starts in the season opener against SEMO and in the Pop-Tarts Bowl against NC State.
McCalister came away with 27 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a sack, one pass breakup, and one forced fumble over his 223 defensive snaps and 122 special teams plays, and he carded a season-high six tackles against NC State and had four apiece against Texas Tech and Baylor, the latter game in which he recorded his first career sack and a forced fumble. His pass breakup came against NC State in the bowl game.
Last season, McCalister saw action in every regular season game, including drawing starts against Colorado, Arizona State and Cincinnati. Unfortunately, he sustained a season-ending knee injury in that final home game.
McCalister registered 24 tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup on the season over his 299 defensive snaps, including a career-high 51 snaps against Arizona State, and he tied his career high with six tackles against Cincinnati, while he had five against Oklahoma State and four at Tulane.
