Washington QB Dermaricus Davis enters transfer portal for second time

One of Washington’s two four-star quarterbacks in the 2024 class has entered the transfer portal.

The Washington Huskies are down to just two scholarship quarterbacks after former four-star recruit Dermaricus Davis decided to enter the transfer portal for the second time this offseason on Friday morning.

After originally entering in January following Kalen DeBoer’s departure, the true freshman withdrew his name and gave coach Jedd Fisch’s staff a shot during spring practice.

However, through Washington’s 11 spring practices, Davis appears to have fallen behind his classmate Demond Williams, who has taken a fair amount of snaps with the first team and looks to be the successor to 2024’s probable starter, Mississippi State transfer Will Rogers.

That’s not to say that Davis doesn’t have the same upside as Williams, he appears to need some more time to develop and has chosen to look elsewhere to do so. The true freshman was not present for Washington’s latest workout on Wednesday, seemingly putting the writing on the wall for his future.

Now, as Fisch and the rest of Washington’s coaching staff continues to scour the transfer portal for some assistance along the offensive line, it might need to bring in a third quarterback as well.
