Williams a Walter Camp Player of the Year Semifinalist
November 11, 2021 | Football
NORMAN — Oklahoma true freshman quarterback Caleb Williams has been named one of 15 "Players to Watch" for the Walter Camp Player of the Year award, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced Thursday.
Williams, who has started three games this season, has completed 71.6% of his passes (78 of 109) for 1,189 yards and 14 touchdowns with one interception. He has also rushed 31 times for 288 yards (9.3 yards per carry) and four scores. His 203.7 passing efficiency rating ranks second nationally (to Coastal Carolina's Grayson McCall), and he has thrown at least two touchdown passes in each of the last four contests, dating back to the Oct. 9 Texas game.
Since taking over primary quarterback responsibilities with 6:41 left in the second quarter against Texas, Williams has completed 72 of 98 pass attempts (73.5%) for 1,087 yards and 14 touchdowns against one interception (his 211.7 pass efficiency rating is the nation's best since Oct. 9). He has also rushed 26 times for 227 yards (8.7 average) and TDs of 66, 41 and 40 yards in the four games.
The Washington, D.C., product has four of OU's seven longest rushes of the season – 66 yards for a TD vs. Texas (tied for team's longest), 59 vs. Western Carolina, 41 vs. TCU and 40 vs. Kansas. Against Texas Tech on Oct. 30, he became just the third player in OU history to throw for at least six touchdowns without an interception, joining Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield (2016 vs. Texas Tech) and Kyler Murray (2018 vs. Baylor).
The Walter Camp Player of the Year is voted on by the 130 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. The five finalists will be revealed Thursday, Dec. 2, and the winner will be announced during the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Thursday, Dec. 9 (televised by ESPN).
