People got a brief look at freshman wide receiver Rashid Williams last season during the University of Washington’s 59-32 win over California. He had some ups and downs during the game. For example, when his teammate Tybo Rogers caught a short pass and ran 47 yards, Williams made a mistake by blocking improperly, which cost the team some yards. However, he showed his potential when he caught two impressive passes from Dylan Morris.
Despite his promising performance, Williams didn’t get much playing time in the 2023 season. He was highly recruited out of Pittsburg High School, where he had a successful senior year with many receptions and touchdowns.
Williams comes from a family known for football success, with Reggie Williams being a standout receiver for the Huskies in the past. Despite having to wait for his chance to shine with six experienced receivers ahead of him, Williams is patient and eager to learn from them.
Adjusting to college football was challenging for Williams, especially during the busy fall camp. However, his former coach believes he’s progressing well and maintaining the team’s standards.
Williams caught the attention of new coach Jedd Fisch, who sees potential in him and other young players on the team. With some key teammates leaving, there’s an opportunity for Williams to step up and take on a bigger role in the upcoming season. He’s determined to work hard and become a leader on the team.
