After an outstanding campaign, Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the University of Southern California, is the front-runner for this year’s Heisman Trophy.
Partner Valery Orellana will accompany the promising quarterback, age 20, during his football path.
Williams and USC narrowly missed the college football playoffs as a result of their Pac-12 championship loss.
This weekend, he will compete for the renowned award against Ohio State’s CJ Stroud, Texas Christian’s Max Duggan, and Georgia’s Stetson Bennett.
Williams, who moved from Oklahoma to USC last summer, put up amazing numbers in the 2022 season.
When Valery and Caleb shared a photo of themselves leaving for prom in October 2020, their relationship became official on Instagram.
You know what it is, Young Angel and Young Lion, Williams wrote as the caption for the picture.
Valery, a native of Rockville, Maryland, shares her football player boyfriend’s passion for sports.
She succeeded on the field hockey team at Richard Montgomery High School while she was a student there.
At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Media & Journalism, Valery is presently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree.
She speaks Spanish and English well, and she also plans to earn a business minor before she graduates.
Additionally, Valery is a founding member of a group called Evenin’ Out The Playing Field.
She characterises the business as “a targetting people of colour to participate in primarily white sports to enhance diversity and inclusion with free clinics that bridge the gap of accessibility” on her LinkedIn page.
The couple seldom ever posts photos of themselves on social media because they like to keep their relationship out of the public eye.
Williams will have Valery’s support as she attends several college-related athletic events and cheers him on as he pursues his NFL goal.
Prior to the Cotton Bowl, Caleb, who may have played in the season’s final game, is recovering from an injury.
He has completed 4,075 yards of passing, rushed for 442 yards, and tossed 47 total touchdowns in 13 games so far in 2022 with only four interceptions.
The winner of the Heisman Trophy will be announced on Saturday, December 10 at 8:00 PM ET.
