Joshua Caleb Norkus (born March 14, 1979 in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American soccer player who currently plays for the National Premier Soccer League club Puerto Rico Bayamón. He played professionally in Germany, Chile, Puerto Rico and the United States. He was a member of the United States U-17 men's national soccer team at the 1995 FIFA U-17 World Championship held in Quito, Ecuador, as well as the United States U-18 men's national soccer team and the United States U-20 men's national soccer team.
Caleb, who was nicknamed PlayStation by the Puerto Rico Islanders supporters for his tireless work rate, grew up playing youth soccer for the Capital Area Soccer League and was North Carolina High School player of the year in 1996 when he helped lead Sanderson High School to the North Carolina State title. During this time, he was also a member of the U17 and U18 United States men's national soccer team where he played alongside Tim Howard, Steve Cherundolo, Carlos Bocanegra and Chris Albright.
Norkus played for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1997-2000. In 2000, in the most exciting 13 seconds of college soccer, a play that involved a 50-yard pass, three headers and a volley, Caleb scored the golden goal to bring the Tar Heels the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title. Later in 2000, he played for the Boulder Nova of the Premier Development League.
