Top-100 wide receiver Julian Caldwell down to five schools
Argyle (Texas) four-star wideout Julian Caldwell is among the most sought-after receivers not only in Texas, but nationally. The No. 16 player at his position, he’s racked up more than 30 offers and is a priority target for teams in the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC and SEC.
But with a handful of official visits already scheduled this summer, he’s ready to narrow down the list of schools he’s considering. Wednesday night, he named a top five that included Notre Dame, SMU, Texas, Oregon and Texas Tech. Caldwell, a top-100 prospect, has logged spring visits to Texas and Notre Dame earlier this spring.
H is also fresh off a return visit to Texas Tech and will be at Oregon this coming weekend, according to Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman.

But each of those top five have made strong impressions on him. And while there is definitely appeal to stay close to home, the two out-of-state programs are very much a threat. “Seeing the types of receivers that go to Oregon shows a lot about the program,” Caldwell recently told Spiegelman .
