So that was the mysterious illness that kept him out for two years. Wonder why it didn't come to light until now.

Man that’s scary, glad he is healthy and recovered. He seriously impressed me friday. He was everywhere absolute beast, that arm grab/tackle was pure instinct and grit loved it and so glad to have him playing on our team.

His family didn’t want it out. Was told that by a media member who knew what was wrong.

The way he's playing now, you'd never know. Great comeback story, as if we needed more reasons to love this defense.

He learned how to walk again?!

and is now playing at this level currently???

thats absurdly impressive. Maybe one of the most impressive feats I’ve heard of one of our college athletes

OMG, what a story. God bless and best of luck.

Man...what a journey!!!
God Bless Caleb!! Hope you can now STAY healthy.
If he is this good in this period of time post the disease,
he could be a "manimal" next year.

Wow, that’s crazy. Kid is beasting out right now. Hopefully he stays healthy, was always excited about his prospects as a recruit.

So if anyone recalls the Rob Konrad fishing story from a few years ago, he also dealt with rhabdo and extreme dehydration. Serious, serious deal. Dehydration can result in a slew of serious internal injuries.
