Mini bio
How it started.
Caleb grew up in Washington, D.C., and attended Gonzaga College High School. He enrolled at Oklahoma in 2021 and became a national talking point when he came off the bench against Texas to help the Sooners win. By the middle of his freshman season, he had earned the starting quarterback job.
The USC chapter.
He transferred to USC in 2022, following coach Lincoln Riley. That sophomore season brought the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award and AP Player of the Year honor. He stayed at USC for the 2023 season before entering the NFL draft.
Making Chicago home.
The Bears selected Caleb first overall in 2024. In his second season, he set Chicago’s single-season passing record with 3,942 yards. He then helped the Bears beat Green Bay in his playoff debut, throwing the late touchdown pass to DJ Moore that put Chicago ahead.
Beyond the game.
Fans also know Caleb for his painted nails and interest in fashion. Through Caleb Cares, he supports young people with anti-bullying, mental health and education projects. His public work has included youth trips, technology workshops and a mental health PSA with USC Annenberg and the Ad Council.
