The writing's on the wall for Demond Williams Jr. to have monster sophomore season

The final memory of the 2024 season for Husky fans was bittersweet: a heartbreaking 35-34 loss against Louisville in the Sun Bowl, but a standout performance from freshman quarterback Demond Williams Jr. that made us say, "He's our guy."

In that game, Williams totaled 422 yards with his arm and legs, scoring five touchdowns in the process. Despite an early interception that led to a pick six, Williams remained poised throughout the game and showcased his dual-threat capabilities that will be essential to Washington's success in 2025.

Williams enters this season not only as the clear-cut starting quarterback for the Huskies, but as one of the most talented players in all of college football.
