2023 WR Elijah Caldwell commits to South Carolina

Rock Hill (S.C.) Northwestern three-star wide receiver Elijah Caldwell has committed to South Carolina.

Caldwell is the No. 863 overall prospect and No. 124 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 10 player in South Carolina.

On3 is significantly higher on him than other recruiting services though, per the Industry Comparison. Although he wasn’t ranked in the final 2023 On300, Caldwell was tabbed as the nation’s No. 80 wide receiver and No. 11 player in the Palmetto State.

Caldwell originally committed to West Virginia but decommitted from the Mountaineers on Dec. 19. Two weeks later, he received an offer from the Gamecocks. He finished his senior season with 77 receptions for 1,365 yards and 20 touchdowns.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.4K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
