Dwayne Calloway
Athletics Hall of Fame
Dwayne Calloway’s path to success was marked by determination and athletic excellence. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, he attended Cleveland East High School, excelling in both football and track. His 4×100 and 1600-meter relay teams placed second and third at the state level, respectively. A recommendation from one of his coaches brought him to the attention of NDSCS Coach Larry McDaniel—and soon after, Dwayne became a proud Wildcat.
At NDSCS, Calloway made a lasting impact in both football and track. In 1981, he earned All-Conference honors in football, followed by an Honorable Mention in 1982. His college debut made an immediate impression—his first touch of the football resulted in a 104-yard touchdown against Bismarck Junior College.
On the track, Calloway was a standout sprinter. He earned All-American honors while competing in the 100, 200, and 400-meter events, setting school records that stood for many years. He also contributed to the 4×100 and 1600-meter relay teams. The 1981 Track team won the Region XIII Championship, where Calloway claimed five first-place finishes.
Today, Dwayne lives in Anoka, Minnesota, with his wife Lucille. He is employed by Federal Premium Ammunition and enjoys attending sporting events and playing cards. Above all, he treasures his role as a proud father to sons LaShawn, Dwayne, and Jalon—and as the joyful grandfather of six.
Dwayne Calloway’s legacy at NDSCS reflects his unmatched drive, athletic talent, and enduring impact on Wildcat athletics.
