Caleb Williams: 'I want USC to be back to old USC'

This year’s No. 1 ranked athlete in the college football transfer portal this offseason, Caleb Williams is now adjusting to his new surroundings in Los Angeles at USC. But the 2021 All-American freshman quarterback didn’t choose the Trojans to be close to the beach. No, he has an entirely different plan in mind, as he explained to ESPN.

On Wednesday, Williams explained his decision to transfer, why he chose USC, and most importantly, what he envisions accomplishing with the Trojans.

“I want USC to be back to what USC was. I want USC to be back to the old USC that everyone thinks of. It’s been a rough couple of years, but we’ve got the right coaches and players in place. The guys want to win. We’re going to bring some other guys in that are going to be impact players for us,” said Williams.

After throwing for 1,912 yards, 21 touchdowns and four interceptions and rushing for 442 yards and six more scores in his only season at Oklahoma, Williams is now gearing up for his first year at USC – which is scheduled to begin on Saturday, Sept. 3 against Rice at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Williams inks major NIL deal, joins men’s grooming company as part owner

Caleb Williams is adding a new title to his resume — investor. The newest member of the USC Trojans is throwing support behind Faculty, a modern grooming brand.

According to Obi Anyanwu of Beauty Inc, Williams is officially a part-owner of the brand. Additionally, the star quarterback will be featured in campaigns, collaborations, and revenue partnerships.

Faculty specializes in nail art, which Williams has been vocal in support of. The former Oklahoma quarterback began painting his nails after being inspired by his mother, who is a nail technician.

He’s even used nail art to get into his opponent’s heads, mocking the Texas Longhorns with a “Horns Down” image on his nails last season.
