Hajj-Malik Qaadir Williams (born November 25, 1999) is an American college football quarterback for the UNLV Rebels. He previously played for the Campbell Fighting Camels.
As a young child, Williams played both soccer and football.[1]
Over the course of his high school career he emerged into an all-region quarterback at Hapeville Charter. Following his high school career, Williams accepted an offer to attend the U.S. Military Academy prep school even after receiving a late offer from Georgia Tech.[2]
On November 29, 2023, Williams entered the transfer portal.[3] He left as the school's leader in career passing yards and touchdowns.
Prior to the 2024 season, Williams transferred to UNLV for his final year of eligibility.[4] During the offseason, Williams lost a close position battle to fellow transfer Matthew Sluka.[5] After a disagreement over NIL, Sluka opted to redshirt for the season giving Williams a chance to start.[6] In his first game as a starter, Williams led the Rebels to a 59-14 rout of the Fresno State Bulldogs.[7] He finished the game passing for 182 yards and three touchdowns while picking up another 119 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown.
