Demond Williams Jr. needs to elevate Washington's offense in 2026
Summary

The Washington Huskies require Demond Williams Jr. to improve in 2026 after a disappointing 2025 season. With the team aiming to enhance their road performance, Williams will be pivotal during tough matchups, particularly against USC on October 3. The Huskies struggled offensively last year, averaging only 9.3 points in their four losses. Both Williams and USC's Jayden Maiava will be key in determining their respective teams' success as they look to fill the gaps left by departing players.
