Demond Williams Jr.’s last season was exciting. He had weapons and a great run game to make things easier for him. This season, new faces for the Washington Huskies will need to show up in place of the departure of Denzel Boston and Jonah Coleman. It’s USC’s job to make sure these newcomers don’t bust loose.
In a recent article, Brad Crawford takes a look at whom the Washington Huskies will trust to maintain last year’s running success. Here is his analysis of Quaid Carr:
“From former three-star signee to projected redshirt freshman starter, Carr brings the goods to the Washington offense. Carr hits the defensive line with a compact, decisive running style that fits Washington’s evolving offensive identity, particularly in zone-based concepts that reward vision and patience. He forced his way into the conversation after an early spring injury to Jordan Washington forced Jedd Fisch to further evaluate the position, and Carr made the most of his chance. Oregon transfer Jayden Limar and Troy’s Trey Cooley, along with Washington, will face off with Carr during fall camp, but this job seems to be his to lose at this point. For a program that has leaned on backfield production by committee with Jonah Coleman and Adam Mohammed in recent years, Carr’s versatility as both a runner and occasional pass option adds schematic flexibility for the Huskies staff.”
Jonah Coleman and Adam Mohammed made the Washington Huskies offense even more lethal last season. Without a compliment in the run game, the Huskies ‘ offense is easier to defend. If the Huskies can get production out of Carr and Demond Williams is elite once again, the Huskies will be a tough out for the Trojans.
