DeJuan Williams is Maryland’s do-it-all back: chain-mover, receiver, and tone-setter
In the 2025 season, DeJuan Williams emerged as Maryland’s most versatile back, leading the team with 501 rushing yards, 426 receiving yards, and 927 all-purpose yards while also setting a school record for receiving yards by a running back. He’s a fit if you want a physical 5'11", 215-pound runner who can stay on the field on all three downs and create matchup problems as a pass catcher. The big differentiator: he doesn’t just run between the tackles—he helps manufacture offense from the backfield, which makes him especially valuable in modern spread systems.
