WATCH: Caleb Williams delivers speech after winning the Heisman Trophy

USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams is a Heisman Trophy winner. The most prestigious individual award in college football, Williams will now join an exclusive fraternity thanks to his unreal 2022 season in Los Angeles. Winning comfortably over the other three candidates, it’s a special moment for everyone involved.

Arguably even more special is the moment after the winner is announced. Heisman Trophy-winning speeches can be emotional ones and Williams was no different. Talking through his life, the 2022 season, and journey toward being on stage Saturday night was an inspirational one.

Family, head coach Lincoln Riley, and old coaches all got shoutouts from Williams. You could see and hear the emotion coming from Williams’ speech throughout the entire speech.

While emotion was the theme of the speech, Williams still had the opportunity to find some humor on the big stage.

Georgia‘s Stetson Bennett, TCU‘s Max Duggan, and Ohio State‘s CJ Stroud also made the trip to New York City but will head home empty-handed. The joke might be on Williams, though, as the three now have College Football Playoff matchups to look forward to.

“I may be standing up here today but y’all get to go to the College Football Playoff,” Williams said. “Guess you can’t win them all.”

While he might not have an opportunity to win a national championship this season, Williams is a worthy Heisman Trophy winner.

Williams throws for 4,075 yards and 37 touchdowns while also rushing for 372 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground to cement himself as a true dual-threat quarterback. This was just his first season with the USC Trojans but second in Riley’s system, previously at Oklahoma.

Once the lights were on, things drastically changed for Williams. A former On300 No. 1 overall player, his college career will always be remembered.
