Nissan Heisman House gets a new roommate in USC's Caleb Williams
There are plenty of perks that come with being a Heisman Trophy winner. USC quarterback Caleb Williams highlighted another one Saturday morning, appearing in an ad for the Nissan Heisman House.
“I used to watch the Heisman House every year on TV,” Williams said to open the spot. “And I’d always wonder, is it real? I can tell you now, it’s very real.”
Williams is the newest roommate in the house and will now appear in the humorous commercials alongside a number of previous winners of the most prestigious award in college football.
Fellow USC Heisman winning quarterback Matt Leinart makes an appearance as well. He’s shown in the gym lifting weights while being bench-pressed by Tommy Trojan. Bryce Young, Tim Tebow and Robert Griffin III also appear
Williams compares living in the house to being on campus. His final scene is cut short by running back Barry Sanders, Billy Sims and George Rogers entering the room. Sanders dismisses Williams by telling him, “We need the room, rookie.”
Living in the Heisman House and Fansville
This is not the first massive ad campaign to feature Williams.
He’s appeared and will continue to appear in, ads for Dr. Pepper’s Fansville. He’s the college face of the campaign this year, replacing Bryce Young and D.J. Uiagalelei last season. In the preview of the “Fansville” season-long campaign, Williams was shown with “I [heart] Dr Pepper” painted on his nails. Williams always has his nails painted for every game. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Williams’ mother, Dayna Price, will be shown painting his nails at some point during the campaign.
“I am incredibly excited to be a part of this year’s ‘Fansville’ campaign and to join Dr Pepper for another iconic season celebrating college football,” Williams said in a statement. “This partnership is even more special because we were able to involve my mom and my foundation, Caleb Cares, both of which are very close to my heart. Together, we’ll create unforgettable moments in ‘Fansville,’ and I can’t wait to bring that same energy to the upcoming season.”
