Summary

Caleb is from Council Bluffs, IA. He recently in 2021 finished up his career in Iowa City as an Iowa Hawkeye, but that wasn't always the known ending in his story. He played 6 seasons with the Hawks, something that would only happen when a pandemic hits, and he waited his turn for 5 of those seasons to really be the feature of the Iowa kicking game. He talks about sitting behind guys like Miguel Recinos and Keith Duncan, and what it was like to battle them for the job. He discusses his major injury setback that could have very well ended his career. What it was like when the world shut down and how the D1 football life at Iowa looked when you couldn't go anywhere or do anything. He describes his eventual path to a scholarship, training for the NFL, and now his time in Tennessee where he looks to be the front runner for the job.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!
