On Monday, Oklahoma Sooners freshman quarterback Caleb Williams, who overtook recent transfer and vaunted gunslinger Spencer Rattler for the role under center last year, announced he intended to enter the NCAA transfer portal. The announcement sent shockwaves across the college football landscape, even if Williams’ announcement was somewhat expected after former head coach Lincoln Riley left for the USC Trojans.
It’s unclear where Williams will land, though the Georgia Bulldogs are an early favorite.
Following the news, recently hired Oklahoma head coach Brett Venables and university athletic director Joe Castiglione issues a joint statement addressing the decision.
