Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that USC will be retiring Quarterback Caleb Williams's number 13 and appears to have reinstated running back Reggie Bush's retired number 5.
Williams began his college career at the University of Oklahoma in 2021 as a backup but went through the transfer portal to join USC the year after, when he had a season for the ages. That year, he won the Heisman after a 4,537 Yard/42 Touchdown year where he only surrendered five Interceptions. He had more modest numbers the year after (3,333 Passing Yards and 30 TDs, and would go number one in the following NFL Draft, joining the Chicago Bears.
In other USC retired number news, the reinstatement of Reggie Bush’s #5, a number that holds a significant place in the history of USC, has been recognized. This follows the reinstatement of his 2005 Heisman Trophy. Coincidentally, Bush has since sued USC, the PAC-12, and the NCAA, seeking compensation for his name, image, and likeness during his time with the Trojans.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Caleb Williams for his impending honor.
