USC quarterback Caleb Williams is exploding on the national college football scene. Now, fans are learning about an odd tradition he has.
The AP’s Greg Beacham shared on Twitter Saturday that Williams had “F–K ND” painted across his nails. There was one letter on each of his finger nails to spell out the profane message for USC’s rival. The nails on his right hand had the F-word listed. On his left hand was N-D-X-X.

USC beat Notre Dame 38-27 in their rivalry game.
Williams has been doing this for a while. Against UCLA the week before, he had a similar F-bomb message.

Williams apparently painted his nails with a message when he was at Oklahoma too.

Williams is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. His 11-1 Trojans will get a rematch with 9-3 Utah on Friday. Their only defeat came to the Utes.
