"Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. said on social media Tuesday night that he is entering the transfer portal, a move that comes just days after he agreed to return to the Huskies for the 2026 season. "I have to do what is best for me and my future," Williams wrote. Williams had signed a contract to return to the Huskies last week, with sources indicating to ESPN's Pete Thamel that the deal was near the top of the market."
"Sources told Thamel that Washington now is prepared to pursue all legal avenues to enforce Williams' signed contract. In addition, the situation has drawn the attention of the Big Ten, sources told Thamel. The conference was vocal in Xavier Lucas' controversial transfer from Wisconsin to Miami last year, supporting the Badgers in trying to enforce the defensive back's contract with the team."
Demond Williams Jr. entered the transfer portal days after agreeing to return to Washington for the 2026 season and stating, "I have to do what is best for me and my future." Williams had signed a contract to return that was reported near the top of the market, and Washington is prepared to pursue legal avenues to enforce the signed agreement. The situation has drawn Big Ten attention, given a recent precedent in a contested transfer. Williams completed 69.5% of passes for 3,065 yards with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions, rushed for 611 yards and six touchdowns, and earned Honorable Mention All-Big Ten; he threw four touchdown passes in the LA Bowl win over Boise State.
