Caleb Williams‘ 2023 college football season with USC ended in disappointment as the team lost five of their last six games. The USC Trojans finished the season with a record of 7-5 and missed the NCAA playoffs. Williams had another great season with USC but failed to lead his team to the playoffs. He is the projected first-overall pick for next year’s NFL Draft.

However, Williams’ father has already clarified that the young QB has “two shots at the apple” and might return to college “if there’s not a good situation” in the NFL this season. The quarterback himself does not want to commit anything as of now and believes that he will make the decision when the time is right.

Williams said that it’s still “a game-time decision” whether he will declare for next year’s draft. The QB also labeled this season as one of the “most important years of playing football so far.” He also talked about the season and how he is dealing with it personally. Williams said:

I’ve never been in this situation, where I’m 7-5 and there are no playoff hopes at the end of the season. I’m dealing with it emotionally, dealing with it spiritually and physically. It’s been one of the most important years I think I’ve had.

Williams this season threw for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and 5 picks. He also had 142 rushing yards and 11 rushing TDs. The QB had one of the best college football season last year when he won the Heisman Trophy. There will be a lot of media attention on Williams going forward.
