Born in Atlanta, Caswell was a two-time All-American tennis player for Furman University, having arrived there on a basketball scholarship. Competing in both sports, he was the basketball team's assist leader from 1985 to 1986. As a tennis player in 1987 he reached the NCAA singles quarter-finals and was named the Southern Conference MVP.[1]

Caswell featured on the professional tennis tour in the late 1980s and had a career best world ranking of 213. He appeared in the men's doubles main draw of the 1987 US Open, partnering Luke Jensen. At the 1989 Canadian Open, following a win over Daniel Nestor, Caswell was beaten in the second round by John McEnroe, but was able to win a set against the world number five who lost his temper often during the match.[2][3]
