Caleb Williams is a popular and familiar name to the American football fans. Williams first came under the spotlight when he won the Heisman Trophy in 2022. Caleb generally played as quarterback.
Two years ago, in 2021, Williams made his official college debut for Oklahoma. Since then, the player has been known for his excellent play and fantastic strength. The 22-year-old already made his mark in the history of American football and is looking to begin his career in the NFL.
After becoming the champion of the Heisman Trophy with his side in 2022, many thought that any franchise would pick him. And there, finally, the quarterback would get the chance to show his skill in the nation’s top league.
However, nothing like that happened in 2023, and fans will have to wait till the 2024 draft to see this man’s cameo. Last year was a memorable time for him as he won numerous trophies and awards.
In 2022, besides winning the Heisman Trophy, the youngster won the Maxwell, Walter Camp, and AP College Football Player of the Year awards. Although he didn’t end his season with only these three awards, He also bagged the Sporting News College Football Player of the Year, Unanimous All-American, and more.
Caleb Williams’s life after Heisman glory
After a beautiful year of football, Williams started the 2023 season with the same energy and passion. He is currently playing for the USC Trojans, and there he reunited with his former coach, Lincoln Riley.
The participation of Trojans number 13 in the NFL draft is still unclear. A few days ago, he said he was not thinking about moving away from the Trojans. In 2023, the statistics for Williams are as good as they were the previous year.
Not only that, his father, Carl Williams, also said that his son didn’t think about leaving his current team. From his and his father’s words, it is clear that the star’s current objective is to improve his game.

This season, he is enjoying a perfect time for the Trojans as his CMP percentage is 68.6, ATT is 266, YDS is 3,633, TD is 30, and RTG is 170.1. The mid-season stats of Williams are quite good, and fans can expect that the star will end the season with positive stats.
It is pretty clear that if he decided to leave the Trojans and join the NFL side in the upcoming season, he would be the leading contender for multiple franchises. Day after day, his performance for the Trojans is getting better, and if he continues his form, he will become the new star of American football.
