USC quarterback Caleb Williams named Heisman finalist
For the first time since 2005, USC will be sending a player to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
A sophomore, Williams transferred to USC from Oklahoma in February, going west to join Lincoln Riley, the head coach who recruited him to Norman with a vision for how he could turn the Washington, D.C. native into a Heisman winner. USC went 11-1 with Williams leading the way before losing to Utah, 47-24, in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday night. USC jumped out to a 14-3 lead but Williams injured his hamstring during the second touchdown drive. Clearly limited by the muscle pull, Williams remained in the game, limping to the line of scrimmage as he tried to rally the Trojans.
Williams’ 2022 campaign earned him first-team All-American honors from Pro Football Focus. He is also a finalist for the Walter Camp, Davey O’Brien, Maxwell and Manning Awards. But he struggled against Northwestern, the worst team in the Big Ten, and he couldn’t rally the Buckeyes in the second half of their most recent game, a 45-23 home loss to Michigan.
