Not long after Arizona completed a magical season in San Antonio, a soon-to-be-Wildcat balled out at the Alamodome.
UA-bound quarterback Demond Williams Jr. accounted for three touchdownsย โ two passing and one rushingย โ during the All-American Bowl on Saturday in the same stadium where Arizona defeated Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl.
Williams, a four-star prospect from Chandler Basha High School, started for the East team, which lost to the West squad 31-28 in the nationally televised all-star game for top high school seniors.
This isn't the first time a future Wildcat has excelled in the All-American Bowl. UA running back Rayshon Luke was named MVP of the 2022 game.
Williams, one of numerous 2024 signees expected to enroll and start class this month, accounted for 54 touchdowns and amassed 4,386 total yards for Basha during his senior season. He led the Bears to the semifinals of the AIA Open Division playoffs.
