USC QB Caleb Williams Declares for the NFL Draft
Frank Coyle /Head scout
Southern Cal QB Caleb Williams announced today he will forgo his remaining college football eligibility and enter the 2024 NFL Draft. We considered him one of the elite prospects in this draft class and probable first overall selection. He sat out the Trojan’s Holiday Bowl game in December and has been preparing for the NFL Draft since then. His only postseason activity may be the NFL Combine in March and the Southern Call pro day in April.
Draft Insiders will have the full List of Underclassmen in the January NL plus Three Round MD, New Top 150 Prospects – out this week
Williams is one of the most talented college players in recent seasons, winning the 2022 Heisman Trophy Award. He is the prototypical modern QB with RPO ability using his powerful arm and fine footspeed to pressure defenses. He shows natural improvisational skills with the ability to throw off platform and different throwing anagles. He has thrown for more than 10,000 pass yards in just three seasons.
Williams is just 22 years old and combines excellent arm talent, athleticism and the intangibles the position demands. The postseason including interviews will determine his NFL readiness and potential to earn a rookie starting grade.
