The Uncertain Future of Caleb Williams: Will He Stay or Go?

In a season filled with ups and downs, the USC Trojans football team finds itself at a pivotal moment. As the crimson and gold faithful prepare for what could potentially be Caleb Williams’ last game in USC colors, the question of his future with the team looms large.

Despite the widespread belief that he is the consensus number-one overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, Williams has kept his plans closely guarded, refraining from making any official announcements regarding his return to USC.

Looking back, whether this ultimately marks the end of the Caleb Williams era or not, it has been an exhilarating ride for USC and its fans. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner recently reflected on his tenure at the university and how he hopes to be remembered.

Key Takeaways:

• Caleb Williams has left an indelible mark on USC football during his tenure, earning accolades such as All-American honors, the 2022 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year, and the prestigious Heisman Trophy.
• His on-field statistics, including 7,786 passing yards, 71 passing touchdowns, nine interceptions, a stellar 170 rating, and an impressive 67.1% completion rate, speak to his remarkable talent.
• While USC may not have secured a college football appearance or Pac-12 title during Williams’ time, his impact on the program’s resurgence cannot be denied, and he is undoubtedly regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in USC’s storied history.

Williams’ journey with the Trojans has been one of highs and lows, but the memories he has created and the resurgence he brought to USC football are undeniable. At just 21 years old, he has solidified his place as one of the best quarterbacks to ever wear the USC jersey.

“I’d say a player that went out there and gave his all every play, every chance he got,” Williams said. “I’d say a player that cared for his teammates, I’d say a player that wanted to go out there and win every single game.”
