Baseball was his favorite sport growing up, began playing football after watching his brother Reche play
Would like to open his own clothing or shoe store

What They Are Saying About Andre Caldwell
"There have been a lot of great receivers who have played here and to be on top of that category means a lot to me. This is not like West Virginia. This is the University of Florida. We throw the ball up and down the field." (11/17/07)
Andre Caldwell
βHe's our leader. It's not just his ability. It's the spirit he brings to the game.β (10/20/07)
Louis Murphy, UF Wide Receiver
βI remember everybody counted us out that year and didnβt think we have a chance but we believed in ourselves. That was one of the most hostile crowds besides βThe Swampβ. That hostile crowd, thatβs what I remember the most. That was the greatest feeling I had ever experienced up to that moment. We were underdogs, didnβt have a shot in the world but to hear all those roaring fans go silent at the end of the ball game, that was a great feeling.β
Andre Caldwell on the win at LSU in 2005
βI think Bubba Caldwell also stepped up with being a leader.Β Bubbaβs always been a leader too, but I think this year heβs made it more vocal with helping everybody else out. Everyday he goes out there and is not only worried about how he runs his routes, how he catches the ball, heβs worried about how Jarred Fayson is running his routes and how Justin Williams runs his routes.β (8/27/07)
Tim Tebow, UF quarterback
βIβm seeing a side of Andre Caldwell, to be honest, I didnβt know existed. Heβs a next-level guy right now. The leadership, the work ethic, the non-stop, heβs grinding. I love Bubba. I always have. I love that family. Iβve never seen him grind like this. Some guys have great senior seasons and others donβt. Weβre going to set him up. He should have a great senior season.β (8/25/07)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach
"Once I got experience, the game slowed down for me," said the senior from Tampa. "Now, I'm
playing fast and with confidence. Once you get a feel for it, you can go out and let your natural
ability take over. When you don't have experience, you can't play as fast as you want to." (8/24/07)
Andre Caldwell
βWe got too speed out there. We got too many playmakers. Anytime they touch the ball, it could be six points on the board. This is the fastest team by far and the most electrifying in the country.β (8-15-07)
Andre Caldwell
"When we got here, Bubba was - in my opinion - a 'me' guy. Right now, Bubba's the heartbeat of my group. As he goes, my guys go." (4/14/07)
Billy Gonzales, UF wide receivers coach
"It has made a big difference being around (Caldwell). Coach (Billy) Gonzales encouraged me to do it. He wanted me to be around him because he saw something in me that he wanted to get out. And I thank him
for that. Taking bits and pieces from his game. Just seeing his approach to the game and all the other young cats coming in and doing good, it became more reality. I thank Bubba for being with me especially during those down times." (4/14/07)
Louis Murphy, UF wide receiver
βI am just appreciative of everything I got right now and it is just a great opportunity. I am just loving Florida right now. (1/4/07)
Andre Caldwell
βI will always have one up on (Reche) playing in this game.β (1/4/07)
Andre Caldwell
"This is like a dream season. Everything is falling into place. We thought we had a good chance because of our record in the SEC, the best conference out there." (12/3/06)
Andre Caldwell
βIt was amazing. Itβs hard to describe, but for the Gator football team and the seniors to get a chance to play in a game like this is the reason they came here.β (12/3/06)
Andre Caldwell
"The best! The best! I got to know his family very well, and his comeback doesn't surprise me after I got to know those guys. He's turned into a premier player. He wasn't a premier player before - he was a guy who ran fast and did some nice things for you. But he's a premiere player now." (10/28/06)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach
"The Gators will throw the ball downfield more this year because UF has better overall speed at wide receiver.Β I look for Chad Jackson and Andre Caldwell to get in the mix early.Β Both can really fly and bring another dimension to the offense." (5/2/2003)
βThe brother of Reche, he may be Florida's fastest wide receiver - and could be one of the fastest to see the field among the freshmen. He's a very polished athlete and is physically mature. He and fellow freshman wide receiver Chad Jackson will get plenty of early reps and an opportunity to compete for playing time.β (8/6/2003)
"Caldwell is a very fast, fluid and polished wide receiver for a true freshman. He's been seeing time on the No. 2 offense and is pushing for immediate playing time this fall. He's been running with the No. 1 kick return team and figures to be one of UF's top return men this season." (August 20, 2003)
Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun
βHe looks real good, that joker is fast.Β Heβs got a lot of just playmaking ability.Β He has the mentality that nobody can stop him and thatβs real good in a receiver.β (August 19, 2004)
Jemalle Cornelius, UF wide receiver
"They (Caldwell and Jackson) understand the game. They understand pass routes. They understand coverages. They understand what you're trying to do with a route. They understand and they learn." (August 10, 2003)
"First of all, he's been coached very well. It's obvious that he was coached well. He's picked up the offense tremendously. The athletic skills, catching the ball, the running, the body control, he's got all of those. He's got everything we thought he had. I'm very pleased with where he's at. He's a definite player." (August 19, 2003)
Larry Fedora, Former UF Offensive Coordinator
"Great speed with super hands, great leaping ability and outstanding concentration." (Jan 29, 2003)
Tom Lemming, recruiting analyst
"He [Caldwell] is the true definition of what an All-American should be.Β He is the type of kid I'd hope my children would grow up to be.Β Somebody likes him deserves that recognition."
Mike Simmonds, Jefferson HS coach
βSpring practice was only three days in the rear view mirror and Florida coach Ron Zook already was salivating at the impact incoming freshman receiver Andre Caldwell could make.Β Itβs not that Zook was disappointed in the 11 scholarship receivers already on the roster.Β Caldwell, the brother of former UF wideout Reche Caldwell, just brings something the Gators lacked with the departure of Taylor Jacobs: raw speed.β (2003 Gator Bait Preview)
Guerry Smith, GatorBait
βHe knows the game better.Β Heβs in the flow now and that makes it so much easier (than coming in as a true freshman like Caldwell did a year ago), He knows what to expect and he knows whatβs going on now.β (August 16, 2004)
Β
βHeβs a heck of an athlete. He can run.Β He was one of the top guys we had in camp last year.Β Heβs going to be an excellent player.β (August 10, 2004)
Ron Zook, Former UF Head Coach
βCaldwell is one of the fastest players on the team and is coming off a season in which he caught 43 passes for 689 yards and three touchdowns. He has a chance to be one of the top receivers in the SEC.β (8/1/2005)
Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun
βWeβre confident. Heβs making practice harder than the game so when we go in the game itβll be a lot easier. We know we can be a good team. We feel it, the coaches are helping us believe that and hopefully itβll all work out.β (8/9/2005)
Andre Caldwell
βBubba is probably the most comfortable right now (in the offense) because Chad and Jemalle, they have never been in that area (running option pitches) before. They are still learning, but Bubba has been in that situation because he was an option quarterback in high school. Heβs been back there when the bullets have been flying.β (8/21/2005)
Billy Gonzales, UF Wide Receivers Coach
βAt halftime, if Chad Jackson, or Dallas Baker, or Andre Caldwell or Jemalle Cornelius, if they havenβt touched the ball, he wonβt be pleased with my performance and Iβll have to come up with some adjustments to get them the ball. Itβs exciting to have that option.β (8/21/2005)
Dan Mullen, UF Offensive Coordinator
βWithout jinxing Bubba (Caldwell), I could see Bubba doing a lot of the same things that Steve Savoy did last year. Weβre pitching it to him. What you do is you go up in your game plan, and weβll say OK, Chad Jackson, Bubba Caldwell, Dallas Baker, youβve got to let them touch the ball anywhere from eight to 12 to 14 times a game. So you actually have that on your chart.β (8/21/2005)
Urban Meyer, UF Head Coach
βAndre Caldwell is back from injury and faster than ever. The quickness, the sharp cuts, the speed, the confidence. They're all back. So is the smile - that bright, irrepressible smile that tells you Andre Caldwell is back in his world. Back in the game. Back where he is happiest. (8/8/06)
Robbie Andreu, Gainesville Sun
''(Wide receivers) coach Billy Gonzales encouraged me to (move in with Caldwell). He wanted me to be around him because he saw something in me that he could get out. I just want to thank Bubba for being there for me. Especially those down times when you feel like you can't go anymore, he's always there to pick me up.''
Louise Murphy, UF wide receiver
