USC's star QB spent the offseason diving into NIL, recruiting teammates out of the transfer portal, and plotting ways to lift his Trojans to new heights.
just a few months prior. After deciding to enter the transfer portal, the Texas native was inundated with interest from programs all over the country, but it was the Heisman winner who proved to be the most convincing in getting the former five-star defensive tackle to come to L.A. through a series of phone calls and text messages.
."I know it's probably a little different with the NIL space now, but still, just for him to realize that he couldn't win it himself and that it's on everyone — the team, the O-line. For him to bring us , that's just such a cool thing. You really felt like we helped him win that award even though he's such a talented player and he won it by his talent."
Perhaps that even includes showing that joining Griffin at the top of the sport's most exclusive hierarchy is not quite the Herculean task it has proven to be for others. Whether Williams returns to New York later this year with a shot to achieve the seemingly unachievable will come down not only to his own play but also that of USC overall.
coach Kliff Kingsbury has gone toward refining everything, from Williams' ability to reading defenses quicker, to an even deeper command of the offense. A busy summer schedule still found plenty of time for regular throwing sessions with his receiving corps. Attending a concert or sitting courtside at angame didn't preclude the Heisman winner from being vocal at offseason workouts the next day either.
