Demond Williams Jr. made a quick U-turn on his decision to leave Washington. After just two days of drama, the quarterback announced he's staying put. This all went down after he signed a contract worth around $4 million for 2026.
His initial plan to transfer shocked the college sports world. It sparked a big debate about the importance of contracts in college sports. Washington was ready to fight to keep him, and LSU seemed to be his likely next stop. But in the end, Williams changed his mind.
He posted on Instagram, saying he's fully committed to Washington. He also apologized for bad timing, as his announcement happened during a memorial for a UW soccer player. Williams had a great season last year, throwing for over 3, 000 yards and 25 touchdowns.
The whole situation caused a lot of chaos. Washington had to scramble to find a new quarterback. Even Williams' agent dropped him as a client. But after some serious talks, Williams decided to stay.
Coach Jedd Fisch said they'll work together to rebuild trust. This whole situation shows how messy college sports can get. It's all about respecting contracts and knowing where you belong.
