Big numbers on opening night for Douglas County QB Caldwell

Still awaiting his first scholarship offer, Douglas County senior quarterback Tony Caldwell made the most of a 42-17 loss to Whitewater Friday evening when he completed 19 of 27 passes for 274 yards and one touchdown.

Caldwell, who made his first start at quarterback as a sophomore, isn’t afraid to display his rushing skills in Douglas County’s spread offense.

“Last year, I threw for 354 yards against Cherokee County,” he said. “I like to think of myself as a pocket passer, but I will pull it down and run.

“In the playoffs last year against Northwest Whitfield, I got over 200 yards rushing in that game.”

Caldwell, who scored a 1680 on the SAT and carries a 3.8 GPA, is beginning to generate some interest from recruiters.

“I’m talking to Furman, Georgia Southern, Middle Tennessee State and Wake Forest,” he said. “Furman and Georgia Southern told me to send them my highlight tape of the first four games, and that if I do well they’ll offer.”
