“Coach, you may not know this, but the Gonzaga mantra that you drilled into us, ‘men for others,’ has helped inspire me to create the Caleb Cares Foundation, which is all about giving back, so thank you coach, thank you Gonzaga.”
Williams founded Caleb Cares to combat bullying. Nicknamed “Superman” because of his athletic abilities, according to the foundation’s website, Williams hopes to “inspire more superheroes to fight bullying so we can all realize that what makes us different is our superpower.”
Meanwhile, Williams’ brothers back at Gonzaga excitedly cheered him on as he accepted the famed Heisman Trophy. Online footage shows the Catholic high school students excitedly cheering, banging on drums, and chanting, “We love Caleb!”
As if to demonstrate what it means to be “a man for others,” Williams spent his speech thanking others, even recognizing his entire offensive line by name and having them stand for an ovation. “This doesn’t happen without you, thank you,” Williams stated as the crowd broke into applause.
Williams also recognized his mother and father, saying, in a heartfelt and tearful moment, “it may seem to go unnoticed and unappreciated, but you mean the world to me.”
