He has a proven record of coaching teams to a winning season and recruiting student-athletes who succeed on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Most recently, Coach Calloway served as associate head coach and defensive coordinator at Missouri Valley College. He led and oversaw all defensive football operations and personnel development and recruited top-tier student athletes across the country.At the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Calloway worked as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach from 2023-2025.

There, he managed full football program operations, including budget, recruitment, compliance, and media relations. He also built and lead a diverse team of assistant coaches and staff while overseeing student-athlete success both on and off the field. He took what started as a less than .500 team to a winning program in just a few years. Most notably, Coach Calloway led the 2021 Central Methodist Football Team to a 9-2 season, finishing 5-0 in the conference and #1 in the Heart of America. Central Methodist met Northwestern College (IA), fellow GPAC opponent, in the first round of playoffs. Northwestern would move on to lose in the semifinal round to another GPAC opponent, Morningside University.At Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Coach Calloway served as Head Football Coach from 2012-2014 while supervising athletic training and managing team logistics and community-facing initiatives.

As a player at Langston University, he was a four-year starter and 2x Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference champions.

His program building centers around these pillars: Protect the Brand, Become Family, and Respect the Game.
