Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. announced he was entering the transfer portal on Tuesday night despite signing a contract to return to the Huskies.

'I have to do what is best for me and my future,' Williams said on social media. 'After much thought and prayer, I will be entering the transfer portal.'

ESPN reported that the deal for Williams to return to Seattle for his junior season was near the top of the market. CBS Sports reported that LSU is one of the teams to watch for Williams' landing spot.

Washington will pursue all legal avenues to enforce Williams' signed contract, ESPN reported.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound QB earned All-Big Ten honorable mention honors in the coaches' vote and also was selected to the Big Ten All-Academic team.

Williams thanked his coaches, teammates, Huskies fans and the Seattle community in the social media post before concluding with his announcement to transfer.

He started all 13 games as a sophomore as the Huskies went 9-4, including a 38-10 win over Boise State in the LA Bowl on Dec. 13. Williams was 15 of 24 for 215 yards and four touchdowns in the game.

For the season, Williams completed 246 of 354 passes (69.5%) for 3,065 yards, 25 TDs and eight interceptions. He also ran for 611 yards, which was second on the team, and six TDs.

For his Washington career, Williams completed 71.5% of his passes for 4,009 yards, 33 TDs and nine interceptions in 26 games (2024-25). He also rushed for 893 yards and eight touchdowns.
