Auburn football fans remain optimistic about Caleb Williams transfer

It’s Wednesday, January 12, and former Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams still has not announced a transfer destination, keeping Auburn football fans hoping for the best. While Caleb Williams to USC seemed like a done deal with his weekend visit to LA, things remain uncertain and rumors continue to fly.

The former Sooner has remained quiet about his recruitment process, but it’s mostly accepted as a fact that Williams is after a huge NIL deal, and his father is looking to be compensated as well. In these new times of the NIL, Williams might be chasing a bag, but you’d think he would be interested in playing ball in front of a full stadium than a handful of USC fans.

According to one poster from On3 Sports’ USC message board, Caleb Williams reportedly left LA unimpressed with the Trojans. To add fuel to the fire, former Oklahoma WR Mario Williams–who made it clear he wanted to follow his QB–took an official visit to Texas.

Could the package deal to USC be falling apart?

Caleb Williams’ next stop could be to the new reigning national champions in Athens. He was recruited hard by the Dawgs out of high school and after Stetson Bennett refused to confirm a future with Georgia, many speculated it could be due to Williams coming in as the starter.

It’s been confirmed that Auburn football’s staff has spoken with Williams and that there is some mutual interest there, and having the QB visit Georgia could mean the Tigers could persuade the transfer to visit the Plains while he’s in the South.

Though nothing about Caleb Williams’ destination has been confirmed, it’s a positive sign for Auburn football that he has not yet committed to his former coach and the USC Trojans. Don’t count Auburn out until Williams has made an official decision.
