Week 2 Player of the Week: Hebron Christian’s Devon Caldwell

Hebron Christian running back Devon Caldwell is joined by head of school Dr. James Taylor (left) and head coach Kenny Dallas for the presentation of GHSF Daily’s Player of the Week award.

Devon Caldwell’s path to football stardom has been a steady climb, and what he did Friday night was the peak so far.

The Hebron Christian senior running back rushed for a career-high 328 yards in a 45-29 victory against Fellowship Christian in a rematch of a 2024 Class 3A-A Private semifinal.

Caldwell has improved his season rushing totals from 699 yards as a freshman to 1,082 as a sophomore to 1,458 as a junior on a state championship team.

Caldwell committed to Mercer this month, but some schools continue to recruit him, especially service academies, who are attracted to his 4.4 GPA.

Caldwell is GHSF Daily’s State Player of the Week. The award is sponsored by Alfa Insurance.
