Caldwell to return for senior season
GAINESVILLE - Junior receiver Andre Caldwell said Friday afternoon he will return for his senior season.
Caldwell, a former Jefferson standout, had seriously contemplated leaving early for the NFL, but said after the Gators won the BCS title Monday night he had a change of heart.
"We have a good opportunity to make it back to the national championship and that was one of my goals and something I looked at (when making a decision),'' Caldwell said.
Caldwell, who returned this season after suffering a season-ending broken leg last year, was second on the team with 57 receptions for 577 yards and six touchdowns. He also rushed 21 times for 102 yards and one rushing touchdown.

I've never been in favor of athletes staying in college when they could turn pro. Let's see make $10 million big boys or get free burgers at the Crystal. Is this Dude mad-crazy?
