To celebrate football star Caleb Williams winning the 2022 Heisman Trophy, his company released an exclusive NFT player avatar. The Hall of Goats company will release 10,000 limited edition Caleb Williams player NFT avatars from December 13th to the 15th. Here’s what you need to know about recently released NFT avatars.
Caleb Williams NFT Avatar collection details
For Williams’ phenomenal football season, the Hall of Goats is releasing its first NFT drop: Caleb Williams’ NFT avatar. From December 13 to December 15, 2022, fans will only be able to purchase an NFT avatar on hallofgoats.com. Furthermore, the drop will include 10,000 NFTs featuring #13 USC quarterback Williams, and each piece is priced at $30.00 USD. Furthermore, the first day of the sale will be for Founder Pass holders, while the remaining days will be for the public.
In addition, the owners of Caleb Williams NFT avatars will have access to a number of fan benefits. This consists of access to HoG’s upcoming video games, access to AMAs with Williams, exclusive merchandise drops and more. As another key point, a portion of the proceeds will go to Caleb Cares, Williams’ foundation dedicated to eliminating bullying.
As a refreshing and innovative form of tool, HoG gives holders the ability to use their NFT avatar in their upcoming video games. The beta will launch in 2024 and will contain unique features for players to enjoy. The HoG free-to-play game, in detail, will allow players to collect the best college football stars, upgrade their players and compete in an arcade-style football game. The game will also feature a marketplace where users can buy, sell and trade their NFT avatars. In addition, the HoG game will bring in other notable college football stars for players to use in the game. Some of these athletes are Braelon Allen (Wisconsin), Deuce Vaughn (Kansas State), Matt Leinart (USC) among many others.
Additionally, the fast-paced game currently in development will be overseen by HoG’s SVP of Gaming, Brian Graham. He is a veteran of the games industry with over 20 years of experience at Electronic Arts. Furthermore, Graham has worked on the world’s most recognizable sports games, including Madden NFT and NBA Live.
“The development stage of game building is like a ‘blank sheet of paper.’ You get a chance to find the “soul” of your experience and what will make it unique and worthy of the players’ attention and time, says Brian Graham. “Joining the HALL of GOATS takes me back to an older era of sports games from my arcade days, where we have creative freedom and can build on something that focuses on just being fun.”
