McCalebb garnered much attention with an impressive performance in the 40-yard dash at the 2013 NFL Combine, recording an official time of 4.34 seconds, the fastest by a running back. He played college football at Auburn where he was a member of the Tigers 2010 National Championship Team.
McCalebb grew up in Fort Meade, Florida, raised primarily by his grandmother and father. [1]

[2] In addition to being a volatile rusher and kick return, McCalebb was an All-State punter, averaging 45.3 net punting average.
In track & field, McCalebb competed as a sprinter. At the 2008 1A Region 3 Meet, he earned a first-place finish in the 100-meter dash, recording a personal-best time of 10.90 seconds. [3] He won the 200-meter dash at the 2008 FHSAA 1A T&F Championships, with a time of 22.44 seconds. [4] In addition, he was also a member of the 4 × 100 m relay squad. [5]
Scout.com gave McCalebb a four-star rating and ranked him as the No. 38 running back in the nation in 2008. [2] He visited Auburn, Clemson, Rutgers, and West Virginia before signing a letter of intent with Auburn. [2]
After spending one semester at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia, McCalebb enrolled at Auburn University in January 2009. [1]
In McCalebb's college football debut against Louisiana Tech in 2009, McCalebb became the first Auburn freshman since Bo Jackson in 1982 to rush for more than 100 yards in his first game by gaining 152 yards on 22 carries.

McCalebb would share the backfield with star back Michael Dyer and elusive quarterback Cam Newton in 2010. That didn't stop him from breaking the Auburn single season yards-per-carry record (8.5). McCalebb scored 7 touchdowns over a pivotal 5 game span for the eventual national champions. Three of those scores came during the division clinching victory over Georgia. Perhaps his best play of the season was a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown versus #6 LSU that ended up being the game winning score. McCalebb finished the season with over 900 yards rushing and was an integral part in the Tigers winning the national championship
McCalebb ran for 532 yards during the 2011 regular season, playing in the shadows of Michael Dyer. He took advantage of a Dyer bowl suspension, however, scampering for 109 yards on 10 carries in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. He also tacked on 53 receiving yards in the season ending victory.
