USC quarterback Caleb Williams has been filling up his trophy cabinet as of late, and he could soon make room for college football’s most prestigious individual honor.
Earlier this week, Williams was named as one of the four finalists for the 2022 Heisman Trophy award. The second-year quarterback finished regular season play with 44 total touchdowns, and he then went on to throw three passing touchdowns in the Trojans’ 2022 Pac-12 Championship Game defeat to Utah.
Williams will not be traveling alone to Saturday’s Heisman Trophy ceremony, as he will be accompanied by eight USC offensive linemen.

Pretty cool gesture from USC’s QB.

Williams sure would not have enjoyed as much success as he did during the regular season had it not been for the keen offensive linemen who blocked for him throughout the campaign. The sophomore passer rushed for 40-plus yards in three different games. More so, the Trojans’ offensive line rose to the occasion in numerous conference matchups, including in the road win over Arizona where the offense notched a 6.4 yards per rush attempt average and Williams was not sacked once.
For now, it remains to be seen just which USC offensive linemen will be available to feature in the upcoming Cotton Bowl Classic against Tulane. At the least, the Trojans will be without center Brett Neilon in the contest, as he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the Pac-12 title game loss to Utah.
