The New York Times••sports
Key Points:
- Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. reversed his decision to return for his junior season and announced he would enter the transfer portal, despite having signed a contract to stay with the Huskies.
- Washington has no intention of releasing Williams from his contract and is prepared to pursue legal action to enforce it, as Williams had not filed the necessary paperwork before his announcement.
- Williams, highly praised by coach Jedd Fisch, posted strong stats last season and was seen as a top Big Ten quarterback prospect, making his transfer a significant loss for Washington.
- Williams entered the transfer portal with a do-not-contact tag, indicating he likely has a preferred destination, with LSU, Miami, and Oregon mentioned as potential landing spots.
