The last time the Washington Huskies took the field for the Dawgs After Dark spring game, wide receiver Rashid Williams had the marquee moment.
Williams, a former four-star recruit in the 2023 class and projected starting receiver for coach Jedd Fisch this fall, hauled in a 45-yard deep shot from junior quarterback Demond Williams Jr. with just over three minutes in the first half for the first touchdown of the evening back on May 1.
"Huge couple of big plays from Rashid," Fisch said after the game. "Rashid's had a great spring. This is the first spring since we've been here that he's stayed healthy the whole spring. Then, obviously missing almost all of last season, to be able to have him come back and take on that leadership role and be able to make some of those plays tonight with Demond was fun to see."
"Obviously the big touchdown was great. And then, also the sideline toe-tap was pretty cool. It's been great to see Rashid step up and be the guy we know he's going to be all season."
When he arrived in Seattle in June 2023, the Pittsburg High School product had to wait behind the future NFL trio of Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan and Ja'Lynn Polk—plus eventual starter turned draft pick Denzel Boston—before last season, when Williams was viewed as the next receiver to fill the void and potentially replicate Boston's production.
