USC’s Caleb Williams Makes Decision on 2024 NFL Draft
The star quarterback is expected to be the first name off the board come April.
USC quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams announced his intent to enter the 2024 NFL draft on Monday.
“Since I was 10, all I ever wanted to do was to play football,” Williams wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “The journey would be empty without the people who have supported and loved me. I will Fight On forever and rep Hornsdown4Life. I’m ready to do whatever it takes. I am officially declaring for the NFL Draft.”
Williams is projected as a top pick in April’s draft after throwing for 3,633 yards and 30 touchdown passes to just five interceptions in 2023. While Williams has a strong chance to be the No. 1 pick, it’s unknown what team will hold the first selection come April.

The Chicago Bears currently own the No. 1 pick, thanks to a blockbuster trade last year with the Carolina Panthers. However, Chicago already has Justin Fields, a 2021 first-round pick, as its quarterback. But after yet another disappointing season from the team, there’s speculation that the franchise could trade Fields and draft Williams with the top pick.
It’s a long way from draft night, but Williams can expect to hear his name called in the first round on April 25.
