Williams Joins Elite Husky QB Rushing Club | Washington Huskies Football News

Demond Williams Jr. just etched his name into Husky lore by becoming the latest quarterback to rush for over 1,000 yards — joining elite company like Jake Locker and Marques Tuiasosopo. His 36-yard scramble against Utah State was the milestone moment, even as the offense stumbled around him. Williams, who made dual-threat mastery his mission from day one, now boasts 244 carries, nine touchdowns, and a legacy in the making — though he’s still building toward Locker’s 2,000-yard rushing mark or Tuiasosopo’s 1,400-plus yard total. While his passing stats lag behind those legends (currently at 4,500+ yards), his impact on the ground is undeniable — especially with key backs sidelined, making him the Huskies’ leading rusher in two of their first three games. For Seattle to turn things around this season, Williams must keep delivering both arm and legs — but right now, he’s got reason to celebrate: he’s rewriting the record books and proving he’s more than just a backup QB.
