USC transfer quarterback Caleb Williams eyes more momentum with Lincoln Riley

Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams isn’t a typical transfer.

Rather than adapting to a new coach and an entirely new system, Williams followed Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma to USC. So he’s playing for the same coach, albeit at a different school.

Williams believes that should help him build off the momentum he established last year, when he took over as the Sooners’ starting quarterback midway through the season and threw for the most yards and touchdowns of any true freshman in school history.

“I didn’t want to feel like a freshman again, having to go to a new place and learn a whole new offense,” Williams said.
