Texas’ sturdy, veteran QB2 with real poise
Caldwell is the kind of backup quarterback you want on a championship-caliber roster: a 6-foot-4, 212-pound senior with starting experience, calm command, and enough mobility to keep drives alive. In the 2025 season at Texas, he completed 8 of 11 passes for 85 yards and 1 touchdown with 0 interceptions, plus 2 rushing attempts for 64 yards, including a 64-yard run that flashes real “fit the ball in the backpack and go” athleticism. He was ranked as the No. 122 QB in the 2025 transfer portal, and the consistent theme is reliability over flash—smart, experienced, and ready when the moment gets spicy.
