Matthew Caldwell is the newest Los Angeles Rams quarterback.
The Los Angeles Rams have added former Troy and Texas quarterback Matthew Caldwell to their roster following the 2026 draft.
Caldwell has just two seasons of FBS experience, and he was only the starter for one of them (with the Trojans), finishing the stretch with 1,693 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions on 63.7% completion.
He joins a room that got a lot younger on average this offseason.
News of Caldwell signing with the Rams began circulating as the draft came to a close, with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reporting on X on April 25 that, “Former Texas QB Matthew Caldwell is signing with the Rams, source said.
“After college stops at Jacksonville State, Gardner-Webb, Troy and then with the Longhorns, Caldwell’s winding football journey takes him to L.A.”
He joins an extensive list of early UDFA signings for the Rams.
Rams UDFA Signings so far:
RB Dean Connors, Houston QB Matthew Caldwell, Texas OL Austin Blaske, UNC OL Chad Lindberg, UNC DL Jalen Logan-Redding, Minnesota CB Nyzier Fourqurean, Wisconsin CB Drey Norwood, Missouri DT Payton Zdroik, Air Force DT Jaxon Moi, Tennessee EDGE Darryl
Unranked as a high school recruit, Caldwell is listed at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds.
“With stints at four different schools, Caldwell epitomizes what it means to be a journeyman. He’s played in different schemes, for different coaches, in very different roles,” SB Nation’s Jacob Neidig wrote on April 24. “And while his stats don’t jump off the page and he only threw 11 passes last season, Caldwell is hoping the skills he fine tuned in Austin will give him a chance to prove that deserves an NFL roster spot.
“Caldwell will be banking on the idea that the impact he made during those 11 throws will persuade NFL front offices to give him a chance.”
