NEW YORK (AP) — Caleb Williams brought sizzle, excitement and star power back to Southern California football.
Williams is the fourth transfer to win the Heisman in the last six years, joining Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray of Oklahoma and Joe Burrow of LSU.
Before taking hold of his big bronze trophy, Williams hugged Mike Garrett, USC’s first Heisman winner in 1965, one of 23 previous winners to attend the ceremony near Lincoln Center. Bush’s Heisman win, the Trojans’ seventh, was later vacated for NCAA violations that began the descent of USC.The Trojans hope a revival is underway, led by Lincoln Riley, who coached Oklahoma’s last two Heisman winners, and Williams, who followed the quarterback whisperer from Norman to Los Angeles.
“It’s something you dream of as a kid when you’re in high school, and then when you get to college it’s just a goal you might throw on the wall before the season,” Williams said the day before checking off that goal. Williams finished with a kick, accounting for seven touchdowns in Top-25 victories against UCLA and Notre Dame that put USC in playoff position.
