If that unfolds, there’s reason to believe he can get the job done. In this recent article that highlights Caldwell, his high school coach spoke about his football IQ.

“He has a great understanding of defenses and the offensive scheme he’s in.”

Should Texas QB Matthew Caldwell make his first start of 2025 on Saturday, his former coach believes the Longhorns won’t miss a beat.
