Renton Grad Calcote seeing red at EWU
January 28th, 2010 at Thu, 28th, 2010 at 12:51 pm by Adam McFaddenFormer Renton High and current Eastern Washington football player Dante Calcote will be seeing red next season, a lot of it.
Thanks to a $500,000 gift from Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Michael Roos (an EWU graduate), Eastern will be able to move ahead with plans to install the country’s first red synthetic field surface.
The NCAA has no rules regarding the color of playing surfaces. Boise State is the most famous example of a non-green surface. The Broncos have a bright blue surface.
Calcote is a junior defensive back. He was Eastern’s Co-Most improved defense play last season.
