The Seattle Times••sports
Key Points:
- Demond Williams Jr., Washington’s star sophomore quarterback and team captain, announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, despite recently signing a new contract with the Huskies.
- Washington plans to pursue legal action to enforce Williams’ contract, suspecting tampering by another school, with the Big Ten conference closely monitoring the situation.
- Williams had a standout 2025 season with over 3,000 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and was named an All-Big Ten honorable mention and Offensive MVP in the LA Bowl.
- His departure leaves Washington with inexperienced quarterback options, including incoming freshman Derek Zammit and limited backup players, complicating the team's 2026 offensive plans.
- LSU is reportedly an early contender to recruit
