Coaches Comments: 
  • ​Chris Caldwell is an excellent lacrosse player with great leadership qualities. His stickwork is tremendous and he has great instincts while playing the game. He can play all over the field and is very good at getting ground balls and keeping possession for our team. He plays close defense, LSM and is a very good counter player at facing off.  Chris has great potential to play at the highest level of college lacrosse because of his ability and willingness to put in the extra work to get it done. -Jason Basso IMG Defensive Coordinator
  • From the initial eye test, Chris grabs your attention with a 6'2" very athletic frame and long rangy limbs. His ability to combine speed with an aggressive stick makes for a lethal perimeter defenseman and a great man-down player. Add in his high level of IQ, Chris can adapt to any defensive scheme; man-to-man, zone, hybrid schemes, etc. As a coach, I can rely and trust Chris to be my second defensive assistant while on the field. He can reposition fellow defenseman and audible to a hybrid slide package, regardless of being off ball or directly involved on-ball. Chriscommunicates loud, clear and concisely. His presence is both felt and heard when he is within the lines of the rectangle. He has a natural ability to stretch the field in the clear game and initiate transition into early offense. Time and room, inside tight or initiating a 2-may game in transition, Chris is a legitimate threat when he crosses the midline. "A gentleman and a scholar" is a great quote my HS lacrosse coach would use and it embodies Chrisas a young man off of the field. He holds himself to an extremely high standard for his character and duty to be a positive member of his community. Chris Caldwellis a competitive, driven, and focused young man who you want to represent your program. -Bruce Pirie State Director - True Lacrosse Utah
