Heisman Trophy finalist Caleb Williams is already being considered by many as the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He started his college career with the Oklahoma Sooners last year but is playing for USC this year.
He has continued to impress as a true sophomore, and in 13 games, has recorded 4,075 yards, 37 touchdowns, and four interceptions this season. He suffered a hamstring injury at the end of the season and missed the Pac-12 title game against the Utah Utes.
Utah defeated USC 47-24, which means they will be eliminated from the college football playoffs. If you follow college football, you must already know about his achievements, but do you know about his girlfriend, Vallery Orellana?
Vallery Orellana is a resident of Rockville, Maryland, and was born on November 25, 2002. She belongs to a Latin American family and is one of four children born to Anibal Orellana and Nancy Janeth Quinteros.
Vallery, along with her siblings, attended Richard Montgomery High School and played hockey for the school team. After graduating, she is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at the Hussman School of Media and Journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
She is a sports enthusiast just like her boyfriend, Caleb Williams. Vallery is fluent in English and Spanish and wishes to study business. She has co-founded an organization called Evenin' Out The Playing Field. The goal of the organization is to encourage people of color to take part in predominantly white sports to increase diversity.
The couple's dating timeline can be found in their first Instagram post. They both posted the same photograph of each other on Instagram in October 2020. Caleb Williams captioned the picture as “Young Angels and Young Lions, you know what it is!” Valery simply captioned the post, “Round 4.”
The pair have kept their relationship away from social media and rarely share pictures of themselves. However, Valery is often spotted at sports events in her college.

Will Caleb Williams get drafted in the NFL?
Caleb Williams is one of the top talents in college football, but he is not eligible for the 2023 NFL draft. To enter the NFL draft, it is mandatory for every player to play a minimum of three years of college football. Williams is a sophomore and has one year left until he is eligible to play in the NFL.
By the time the 2024 season arrives, Williams will be in QB1 for the NFL draft. Caleb Williams has won both the Walter Camp and Maxwell Awards and has also been named a finalist for the 2022 Heisman Trophy.
If he stays put on his current trajectory, then it is safe to say he will be declared pretty early in the NFL draft once he is eligible.
