What about DeWayne Caldwell?

[owls24]

Dewayne is absolutely smoking all of his opponents... Give me your thoughts on the 16 year old from Ooltewah (JR) #20

[Ooltewah "whoo whoo"]

THE MAN!

[ballintrain]

one of the best ever!! hope he gets over 2000 this year

[scout15]

Is he a jr for sure? I've heard almost everything there is, im just trying to get it straight?

[mnewballer21]

yes he is a junior for sure, transferred as a freshmen from mccallie, sat out last year as a sophmore, and saw his first varisty action this season against red bank as a junior

2,000 this season = Non-stop calls from D-I schools next season. This kid is the real deal.

they come fast, but not as fast as him! DeWayne is a beast and can run faster than anyone in tennessee, I believe.

[ballintrain]

haha yes he is a beast it will be fun to watch him in the second half of the season

I've watched this junior play. He is quick to the holes and if you don't wrap him up quickly, he will leave you eating grass. For not being very big, he has shown some power, but not anything like Flanagan. He is a little faster than Flanagan and has a real knack for finding a hole.

 

I wouldn't be surprised that D1 schools might be looking at him, but I think he will be probably better served in 1AA.

 

Who knows how many yards he will have this season after Bradley and Heritage. He should be over 1,500 by that time. Then the test will come with Soddy Daisy and Oak Ridge.

I watched him on the Blount County School channell when they showed the William Blount vs Ooltawah replay. He is a stud. I was impressed.

 

 

How big is Caldwell?

[ballintrain]

he is only 5'9" 175 but i am sure he will get a lil bigger before next year... but his speed makes up for it big time!!

[stayNskool]

Dewayne can easily put on 15 lbs before next season. 5'9" 190 with insane speed sounds a little like someone else from Tennessee I've heard of: Lamarcus Coker. I do believe He is the number 2 back in the Southeast. Dewayne is actually a good deal quicker than Flanagan. Flanagan struggled with injuries his final 2 seasons, so you need to go back to his sophomore year (when he set the Chattanooga single season rushing record), to get a good comparison between he and Dewayne. Dewayne will be best served in D-IA, in my humble opinion, because with all the west coast offenses (based on getting speed in the open field) being run these days, he could really make an impact.
