Washington planning to enforce Demond Williams contract after transfer portal announcement

Less than a week before announcing his intention to enter the transfer portal, Demond Williams signed a new deal at Washington, On3’s Pete Nakos reported. UW plans to enforce the deal.

Terms of Williams’ deal at Washington have not been disclosed. He is coming off a strong season with the Huskies under Jedd Fisch and was expected to be a key part of the offense once again in 2026.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel later reported the Big Ten is paying attention to the situation. It’s worth noting the conference backed Wisconsin last year when former Badgers defender Xavier Lucas withdrew from the university and enrolled at Miami. Lucas did not enter the transfer portal, but had signed a rev-share agreement with Wisconsin, contingent on House settlement approval.
