  After walking off a stage at the Galen Center, after talking to kids from Audubon Middle School, Caleb Williams took a look around the hall. The USC quarterback took in the scene for a moment as kids opened up their provided lunches. "I never thought at 20 I'd have a foundation, I never thought at 20 I'd be here in L.A.," Williams said. Friday was the first official event for Caleb Cares, Williams' new foundation committed to an anti-bullying cause. The middle schoolers were given a tour of USC's athletics buildings by the department's director of community outreach, McCall Hall, who emphasized how much work was required to become a collegiate student-athlete. The tour started in Heritage Hall before entering the John McKay Center and ending at Galen Center, where Williams met with the group. After introducing himself with information like his hometown - Washington, D.C. - and nickname - Superman - he got into his message.

Williams opened up about things people had teased or been critical of him for in the past, from painting his fingernails as a form of expression to his January decision to transfer from Oklahoma, a move he told the kids he still receives vitriolic tweets and hate mail about. He told them that the key to overcoming any type of bullying is to have a strong support system, as his parents beamed proudly in the back of the room. "This is huge because as a kid, you get bullied and that can change your life if you don't have people around you that can help move along or make sure your mental is straight, that can affect you very deeply in the future," Williams told reporters. "I paint my nails as a male. I left Oklahoma; as we know, they have a really good support system when you're there, when you leave, they're a little bit different. So having that (support system), it was huge." - Orange County Register
