Growing up in New Haven, Missouri—a small rural town of just 2,400 people—Caleb Otten didn’t play his first snap of football until 5th grade. But once he stepped onto the field, he seized the opportunity and never looked back.

Now a standout left tackle at MICDS, one of Missouri’s football powerhouses, Caleb earned varsity snaps as a freshman and achieved first team all-conference honors as a sophomore, helping lead his team to the state semifinals.

Caleb’s journey isn’t just about natural talent—it’s about preparation meeting opportunity. His success on the field stems from years of dedication: relentless work ethic, coachability, and the continuous pursuit of improvement. Whether in the weight room, on the practice field, or in the classroom maintaining his 3.39 GPA, Caleb brings the same level of commitment to everything he does.

As co-head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Caleb’s leadership extends beyond football. He sets the standard through his actions, embodying the character and work ethic that elevate not just his performance, but his entire team.

At the next level, Caleb won’t just be joining a football program—he’ll be transforming it with the same dedication and character that has defined his high school career.
