Caleb Williams named to 2023 Davey O’Brien Award watch list

Awards are nice, but the real trophies Caleb Williams wants are for conference and national championships.

In 2022 Caleb Williams won the Maxwell and Heisman Trophy and finished as a finalist for the Davey O’Brien behind winner Max Duggan of TCU.

The Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award is presented annually to the nation’s best college quarterback.

This past week Caleb Williams was named to the O’Brien watch list as he tries to win the Heisman Trophy for the second year in a row.

Last year Williams completed 333-of-500 passes (66.7%) for 4,537 yards and 42 TDs with just 5 INTs, plus he rushed for 382 yards and 10 TDs. He was first nationally in passing TDs (42) and points responsible for per game (22.3). He was third nationally in passing yards (4.537) and fourth nationally in passing yards per game (324.1). He was fifth nationally in passing efficiency and total offense (351.4). He was seventh nationally in yards per pass attempt.

He also rushed for 372 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The 2023 Davey O’Brien Award winner will be unveiled live on ESPN on Thursday, Dec. 7, during The Home Depot College Football Awards Show.
