Athlon's Steve Lassan ranked the Pac-12 quarterbacks, and he had Utah's presumptive starter Troy Williams at No. 12. Here is what Lassan had to say about Williams in the same article:
"Williams is back in the Pac-12 after one standout season at Santa Monica College. The California native originally signed with Washington out of high school and spent two years with the Huskies. In 2014, Williams played in five games at Washington and threw for 176 passing yards on 23 completions. After transferring to Santa Monica College in search of more playing time, Williams torched opposing defenses for 2,750 yards and 31 scores in 2015.
