Former Campbell Fighting Camel standout quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on X Wednesday morning. Williams, a redshirt senior, is expected to garner some interest from FBS schools. However, given his experience playing against HBCUs, the transfer quarterback may consider joining a former rival.
“Dear Campbell,” Williams wrote on his farewell post, “I'm grateful with how this place has connected me with the people that will forever have a positive impact on me. The thing about time is that it waits for no one and when it comes you must respect it and take action. Our time has ended together and I know I left a legacy that will forever be cherished. After seeking wise counseling, I've decided to enter the transfer portal. The history is there and I wrote my own story!”
