29 Aug
Summary
- ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit lists Williams as underrated.
- Williams has 4,009 passing and 893 rushing yards.
- He will face top Big Ten quarterbacks on the road.
As the college football offseason continues, Washington Huskies quarterback Demond Williams Jr. is generating significant buzz. ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit included Williams on his list of top five underrated quarterbacks heading into the 2026 season.
Herbstreit highlighted Williams as one of the country's better dual-threat quarterbacks. In 16 starts and 26 appearances, Williams has amassed 4,009 passing yards and 893 rushing yards.
Williams faces a challenging path in the Big Ten, competing against other talented quarterbacks like Oregon's Dante Moore and USC's Jayden Maiava. His draft stock could be significantly influenced by head-to-head matchups.
Unfortunately for the Huskies, these critical games against Moore and Maiava will both be played on the road. As Williams prepares for his junior campaign, his performance will be closely watched, likely keeping him in conversations about top players to monitor for 2026.
