Name: Charlie Callinan

Position: Wide receiver

Number: #83

Year: Sophomore

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 224 lbs.

Hometown: Westfield, NJ

High School: St. Peter's Prep

2013 Stats: Redshirted

2014 Stats: Callinan played in thirteen games, starting in nine. Finished the season with 13 catches for 149 yards and one touchdown pass against Virginia Tech. Not a stat that was listed, but he was a valuable run blocker on the edge, that helped to spring multiple big runs during the season.

2015 Projections: Callinan is going to get major playing time this season, most likely as a starter. Remember, he was only a freshman last year, so he has lots of room to improve this season. Look for his targets and gametime to increase this season.

How'd He Get Here: A three-star recruit out of St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City, Callinan chose the Eagles over claimed offers from Connecticut and Rutgers. Other big names, including Michigan State, Notre Dame and Penn State showed interest in the 6-foot-4 receiver. Recruited by Bill McGovern.

The only good thing about lifting with the Oline is the country music after.. Nice change up from the same damn rap songs I hear everyday
