Spencer Rattler ultimately could’ve stayed right where he was if he knew Caleb Williams would be leaving.
Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams announced Monday his intentions to enter the transfer portal. Williams added staying at Oklahoma is “definitely” an option despite Monday’s decision.
“This season has been incredible. Words can’t describe the amount of love I have for my teammates, coaches and the Sooner Nation. The support everyone has shown me couldn’t be more appreciated, you guys are the best,” Williams tweeted. “I think we all come to college to find our own path and prepare for the future. I came to Oklahoma with a game plan, but with all of the recent changes, I need to figure out what is the right path for me moving forward.
“According to NCAA rules, as a student-athlete, the only way I can speak with other schools and see who may offer the best preparation and development for my future career is by entering the portal.”
Williams appeared in 11 games for Oklahoma in 2021 after taking Spencer Rattler’s job during the game against the Texas Longhorns. He passed for 1,916 yards and 27 total touchdowns.
