Past, Present, Future: Caldwell Is Saguaro Football
Eric Sorenson
Kyle Caldwell sits on the Saguaro bench with his fellow assistants as the fast-setting sun illuminates Camelback Mountain just a few miles west of the stadium.
It’s a landmark destination Caldwell is quite familiar with.
Sure, things like the updated scoreboard, artificial track and newer turf field weren’t around when Caldwell starred for the Sabercats back in the early 2000’s but it’s still very much like home for one of the top players in program history.
He’s now entering his tenth season as defensive line coach, eighth as SHS’s strength and conditioning coach and hoping to help lead his alma mater to their sixth-straight state championship this fall.
A Valley native, Eric has had a passion for the Arizona sports scene since an early age. He has covered some of the biggest events including Super Bowls, national championships and the NBA and MLB playoffs in his near 20 years in local media.
