Huskies star quarterback Demond Williams Jr. made a surprise announcement last week that he would enter the transfer portal, leaving the University of Washington despite signing a contract just days earlier. UW threatened to sue to enforce the contract with Williams. The day after that announcement, sportswriter Danny O’Neil, author of The Dang Apostrophe Substack newsletter, said, “I don’t think anyone expects the resolution here is Demond Williams plays for the Huskies in 2026.”
The next day, Williams said he would return to the Huskies. O'Neil talks about how he’s been shocked twice in one week by this ongoing saga.
