Carlo Calabrese plays like a throwback. He's a middle linebacker out of Verona, NJ who chose the Irish over Penn State, Rutgers, Florida and Boston College. Calabrese is 6'2, 247 pounds and runs a 4.7 in the 40-yard dash. He is also one of the top weightlifters in the Eastern U.S.

Calabrese uses his strength and quickness to dominate from his middle linebacker position. He hails from the same hometown as former Irish linebacker, Anthony Fasano.

Here's what Calabrese had to say about choosing the Irish and what Notre Dame fans may expect:
