Last week, North Carolina State told Caleb he was one of five quarterbacks being considered, but on Christmas Eve, Caleb was told the coaches decided not to use the scholarship on a quarterback.

He is definitely as athletic as you need to be in the SEC, but he will need 2-3 years to build up arm strength. The good news is it looks like he threw to a whole team of slot receivers. He would have far bigger targets at LSU.

Wish Caleb the best of luck as he has obviously chosen to follow a dream instead of a lower division where he would be assured of playing. Not sure where his journey will end, but he is taking a shot.

I can really relate to Caleb & his family, cause a little over a decade go, my "little" QB made the same decision. When doing the research for his recruiting, considered only a handful of the lower tier D-1 schools, concentrating on 1-AA & D-2. And then he comes to me one day & says, "Dad, I will never know if I don't try". My focus shifted & he landed at IU with DiNardo.

Ironically, had a shot with the Tigers. The day Ricard left, the phone rang. Dr. Nader says, "Get him over to the locker room for equipment, he is on the 105". He was already at IU. Won't say how I felt at that moment.

Bottom line, he had a great D-1 freshmn experience. Made the travel squad, went to Mich, Penn St games, etc. Was actually #2 on the depth chart at one point due to injuries. Would any of that happened in Baton Rouge? No, but I know where he would have been on Jan 4, 2004 :-)

Good luck Caleb. Follow your dreams son. Know you have at least one fan that will be following your career path wherever it takes you.

Rather have a 5 star pp qb, and they should be knocking LSU door down...

Maybe he wants to coach in the future, and decided Cam was where it is at.

So what's the deal? Why no major offers? Is it the competition?
