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 touchdowns — two passing and one rushing — 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.

VIDEO: Arizona football coach Jedd Fisch said four-star 2024 quarterback signee Demond Williams “has elite athleticism” on signing day, Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023. “He’s flat-out fast. … It was a huge deal for us to get him.” Fisch said experienced NFL talent evaluators like Sean McVay, Josh McDaniels and Michael Lombardi watched Williams’ film “and all of these guys are singing this kid’s praises.” (Justin Spears/Arizona Daily Star)
