The redshirt freshman receiver one day will catches passes from another Williams.
They're not brothers or cousins, not related in any way, but someday when the time is right, Rashid Williams and Demond Williams Jr. could form a rather catchy passing combination for the University of Washington football team.For now, Demond Williams Jr., the freshman quarterback, is prepared to serve as the Husky back-up to Will Rogers Jr.
This is one in a series of articles -- going from 0 to 99 on the Husky roster -- examining what each scholarship player and leading walk-on did this past spring and what to expect from them going forward.Last season, Rashid Williams had to bide his time behind Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan and Ja'Lynn Polk, and handled it as a learning experience.
Williams isn't far off. He ran with the No. 1 Husky offense for half of spring practice before giving way to California transfer Jeremiah Hunter. The difference between them is 15 pounds and three years of experience favoring the new guy. The good thing about Williams from Pittsburg High School in the Bay Area is he seems comfortable with his Husky development and willing to let it play out. He also was previously acquainted with new receivers coach Kevin Cummings when the latter was on Jedd Fisch's staff at Arizona, so there's a pre-existing connection there.
