With over 10,000 passing yards across three seasons, the QB has showcased his extraordinary arm talent, athleticism, and creativity on the field. It was back in 2021, that his journey in the NCAA commenced with Oklahoma. From there, as a true freshman, he swiftly rose to glory after gifting a game-changer victory against Texas. 

The year 2022 marked a new chapter for Williams’ journey as he got transferred to USC under the guidance of head coach Lincoln Riley. Under his leadership, the Trojans grabbed an impressive 11-3 campaign. However, the 2023 season has been tough for him and the Trojans with a disappointing 7-5 campaign that concluded with a loss to rival UCLA. Hence, all the attention is seized on his potential as he declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.
