USC's Caleb Williams Named Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Semifinalist
October 18, 2023 | Football
LOS ANGELES--Defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams has been named a Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Semifinalist, today (Oct. 18). This award is presented annually to the FBS college football player who has demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field. The award honors the type of exemplary character and commitment to community, family and teammates demonstrated by Jason Witten, the 2012 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year and one of the most prominent role models in the game.Â
Â
Compiled by a subset of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Selection Committee, the semifinalists have all demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field.
Â
Williams is a record-setting unanimous first-team All-American. His achievements on the field are nearly too many to mention, but Williams is no less of a star off the field, where he demonstrates a passion for serving others through the Caleb Cares Foundation, which he started to advocate for mental health awareness, anti-bullying and youth development. He was selected to the 2022 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for his work in the community, and he is trailblazer in the NIL era, as he works to include his teammates in the many partnerships brought his way by being the most recognized player in the sport.
Â
Three finalists will be named for the award on Wednesday, December 13. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony in Frisco, Texas, on February 15, 2024.Â
Â
The winner of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year will also receive a $10,000 contribution in his name to his school's athletic scholarship fund. The contribution will be made by Jason Witten's SCORE Foundation, the official charity of Jason and his wife Michelle.
