P.J. Fleck calls Washington QB Demond Williams 'one of the best players in the Big Ten'
Minnesota will have its hands full with another talented QB in Week 4.
P.J. Fleck, the head coach of the Gophers, has praised Washington's quarterback Demond Williams, calling him one of the best players in the Big Ten. Williams, who had a standout 2025 season with 3,065 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, along with 611 rushing yards and 6 more touchdowns, has shown great versatility as a dual-threat quarterback.
Fleck highlights Williams' ability to throw accurately from sideline to sideline, his decision-making, and his ability to run effectively when given an opportunity. The Gophers' defense has historically struggled against such mobile quarterbacks, and Washington's recent struggles in the running game, particularly with the loss of key players Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston Jr., could make it challenging for them to contain Williams on Saturday night.
