American college football quarterback for the Washington Huskies, Demond Williams Jr., has supportive parents, including his father, Demond Williams Sr., who played college football.
Demond Williams Jr. has officially decided to enter the transfer portal, even though he had just agreed to a new deal to stay at the University of Washington.
Williams’ portal entry includes a do‑not‑contact tag, meaning other programs can’t initiate contact with him unless he reaches out first.
He signed a new deal to return to Washington for the 2026 season just days before entering the portal, so his decision is considered shocking and unexpected.
