Terrance Metcalf

Bio

Playing at 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, Terrence Metcalf used a unique blend of size, technique, and agility to become one of the most formidable linemen in Ole Miss history. A consensus First Team All-American in 2001 and a Sporting News Second Team selection in 1999, Metcalf helped lead Ole Miss to three bowl appearances and two Top 25 rankings. Lettering in 1997 and 1999-2001, Metcalf started the first three games in 1998 but was redshirted after an ankle injury ended his season. Ole Miss went 37-22 with Metcalf helping his teammates set new highwater marks. He protected NFF National Scholar-Athlete Eli Manning, who passed for 10,119 yards to claim the school record at the time. He also cleared a path for Deuce McAllister who still holds the school rushing record with 3,060 yards and all-purpose record with 4,889 yards. A two-time First Team All-SEC selection; Metcalf was named the SEC's Most Valuable Lineman in 2001 by the Birmingham Monday Morning Quarterback Club. Metcalf's impact was particularly felt in pass protection, where he anchored an offensive line that allowed the fewest sacks in the SEC in both 2000 (7) and 2001 (10). A team captain, his leadership and athletic prowess also earned him multiple team awards, including the Co-Offensive Player of the Year by the Rebel Club of Jackson in 1997; the Clower-Walters Scholarship Award in 2001; the J. Richard Price Courage and Compassion Award in 2001; and the Birmingham Alumni Club's Leadership Award. He has remained active in civic initiatives, participating in charity fundraisers, Habitat for Humanity, and military and church outreach programs. As part of the Rebel Reconnect program, Metcalf returned to Oxford to complete his degree in management, graduating in 2016. His son DK Metcalf played at Ole Miss and the NFL.
