As hard as it is to believe now, but Spencer Rattler once entered the 2021 season as a Heisman Trophy candidate and potential No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. All of those things died quickly and Rattler is not even looked at as a guy a team would take anywhere in the first three rounds of the draft.
Midway through the game against the Texas Longhorns, Rattler would be replaced by five-star freshman Caleb Williams. He would kill it so much on the field that social media noticed that both of them seem to have tension with the other when Rattler unfollowed him on social media, and Williams would respond by doing the same.
Williams provided some insight into their relationship during an interview with “The Podcast on the Prairie” this week.
“Me and Spence – we weren’t best friends. I can say that. We weren’t best friends, but we didn’t hate each other, either,” Williams said. “There’s a bunch of other guys that I’m not best friends with and I don’t hate them either on the team. Everybody tried to make a thing out of nothing throughout the whole season. There was nothing to be made from it.”
Following those comments, Williams would state how happy he was for Rattler and teammate Austin Stogner for joining former OU assistant Shane Beamer at South Carolina.
