With yesterday’s news that USC quarterback Caleb Williams has officially declared for to the 2024 NFL Draft, USC Athletics put together a video highlight of all the touchdowns Williams scored during his Trojan career.

Williams finished his USC career with 93 total touchdowns, including 72 passing and 21 rushing. In just two years, Williams is fourth all-time in USC career touchdowns, tied for fourth in passing touchdowns, fifth in total yards and seventh in passing yards. And his 21 touchdowns on the ground are just four fewer than what Reggie Bush posted in three years with the Trojans.

The video highlights of only Williams’ touchdowns runs more than 18 minutes long and is a terrific reminder of what the Heisman Trophy winner was able to accomplish on the field.

It was truly a spectacle every time he took the field and despite knowing the outcome of every one of these plays, there are still times during the video where you think this can’t possibly end up as a touchdown.

This turned into a 19-yard touchdown to Brenden Rice against Tulane in the Cotton Bowl:

This turned into a one-yard quarterback sneak touchdown against Arizona, despite Williams being completely wrapped up in the backfield with his back to the endzone:

Here’s a casual 76-yard touchdown throw to Tahj Washington against San Jose State despite, you know, the ball laying on the ground eight yards behind the line of scrimmage:

And here’s an easy 4th-and-1 conversion into a 25-yard touchdown against Washington, sprinting away from the line of scrimmage past the right hashmarks and delivering a strike to the short left pylon.

It’s tough to say what Williams’ most impressive touchdown was over his two-year career in cardinal and gold. There were some rushing touchdowns where he finished through opposing defenders and one against Notre Dame where he turned back to jaw his way into the endzone. There were some last-second pitches where he took a hit and still delivered a touchdown pass. And there were more than a few mesmerizing plays where Williams held the ball for more than six seconds in the backfield, buying time, before sending a strike to some uncovered receiver in the endzone.

But when it comes to the Williams touchdown that stands at the top, it’s really difficult to beat the combination of timing, setting, atmosphere and just a pure throw from an outstanding quarterback that Williams authored late against Oregon State to win the game in 2022.
