Former Oklahoma Sooners QB Caleb Williams transferring to USC

Star quarterback Caleb Williams is transferring to USC, he told ESPN.

The move reunites Williams with first-year USC head coach Lincoln Riley, who Williams played for during his breakthrough true freshman year at Oklahoma in 2021.

"I wanted to go somewhere I thought would provide me with the best development both on and off the field," Williams told ESPN. He added: "Getting to know Coach Riley and gaining familiarity with his offense definitely played a part in my selection, as well as already knowing some the guys on the team."

Williams' decision marks the end of the biggest off-season mystery in college football, as Williams spent nearly one month in the NCAA transfer portal.
