Notre Dame plays at USC to close the 2022 regular season and today Lincoln Riley officially found his quarterback at USC both for the future and for the present.
Caleb Williams, a five-star recruit who began starting for Oklahoma midway through the 2021 football season entered the transfer portal shortly after the year. Early speculation was that he’d wind back up with his former coach at USC and that’s exactly what Williams announced on Tuesday.
Williams completed over 64% of his passes in 2021 while throwing for 1,912 yards, and 21 touchdowns to just four interceptions. He added an additional 442 rushing yards and six rushing scores on the year.
The writing was on the wall as USC lost a pair of quarterbacks to the transfer portal this off-season so this is hardly a surprise but is certainly newsworthy for being completed.
Buckle up Notre Dame and USC fans, the rivalry between the two is about to get as heated as it was in the seventies.
