Faces In The Crowd: Caleb Williams

Baker Mayfield. Kyler Murray. Jalen Hurts. Now following suit: Caleb Williams, a rising senior quarterback at Gonzaga College High in Washington, D.C. who officially committed to Oklahoma in July 2020 and will join Spencer Rattler in coach Lincoln Riley’s cavalcade of quarterbacks this fall. The top-ranked dual-threat QB in the recruiting class of 2021, Caleb forged his connection with Riley during an early two-hour visit.
“I think he’s an offensive mastermind,” he says of Riley. “He’s gotten his past three quarterbacks to the NFL.”
After beating out two juniors to earn the starting job as a freshman, Caleb guided the Eagles to the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title game, where they lost 30-7 to St. John’s College High. The next season he brought Gonzaga back to the final. Trailing DeMatha Catholic 43-40 with 15 seconds left, Caleb connected with senior receiver John Marshall on a 53-yard Hail Mary, giving the Eagles their fourth WCAC championship and first since 2002.
“It’s pretty cool that I’m the only African American quarterback who started as a freshman at Gonzaga and won a championship,” Caleb says.
That season he earned D.C.’s Gatorade Player of the Year honors after throwing for 2,624 yards, rushing for 394 yards and scoring 36 total touchdowns. As a junior Caleb led Gonzaga to an 8-3 record, with 1,770 yards passing, 838 yards rushing and 37 touchdowns. Caleb protested for justice with his teammates in late spring. On July 1, he was named MVP of the Elite 11 Finals, a national QB competition.
Three days later Murray congratulated the future Sooner on his commitment, tweeting “best of the best.” “That was pretty cool,” says Caleb.

[@woodrowbishop9383]

I feel bad for Spencer Rattler. Think about it. Being booed by thousands of people and he is just a child... No question Caleb is the best for this offense . I think Spencer can succeeded in a more professional style offense

[@someperson8151]

His competition in Arizona didn't help his cause. Remember, Landry Jones from New Mexico. His competition didn't help him to transition to college. Belldozer had to come in on short yardage plays.

[@ebelionavarro4354]

What a story on Caleb he's a talented young man with alot savy he's a winner in the making he showed this Saturday coming in when rattler got in trouble for some bad mistakes in this red river rivalry against texas. What vision he had on the field that day couldn't ask for much He went in and got the job done no questions ask im sure rattler knew his back up was coming in and the crowd for texas was chanting we want Caleb well they got their Wish and more sooners win in a magical game that no one saw coming when ou looked like they where on their way home for there 1st lose. Nope instead they kept grinding and some how pulled a rabbit out of their hat And with time running out and the game tied in the final quarter and seconds left brooks came tearing through That texas defense and you know the rest. Boomer sooners babyyyy !!!!
