USC quarterback Caleb Williams headlined the 2022 College Football Awards on Thursday, as he was named the Walter Camp Player of the Year and the winner of the Maxwell Award, given to the best all-around player in college football.
Williams, who is the first USC player since running back Marcus Allen in 1981 to win the Maxwell, accounted for 47 touchdowns while throwing for 4,075 yards and leading USC to an 11-2 season a year after the Trojans went 4-8.
While Williams won both the Maxwell and Walter Camp awards, fellow Heisman Trophy finalist Max Duggan received the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Year award. Duggan threw for 3,725 yards and accounted for 36 touchdowns for TCU this season.
The Horned Frogs took home multiple awards on the night. Safety Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson received the Jim Thorpe award, given to the top defensive back in the sport. Sonny Dykes, having led TCU to an undefeated regular season and a College Football Playoff appearance in his first year, was named the Home Depot Coach of the Year and won the Walter Camp National Coach of the Year Award.
