Washington basketball eyeing former Iowa State G in transfer portal

•Yahoo Sports

The Washington Huskies are reportedly in touch with former Iowa State guard Mason Williams about a potential homecoming in the transfer portal.

The Washington Huskies need to upgrade their three-point shooting through the transfer portal, while adding some high-end local talent to coach Danny Sprinkle's roster ahead of his third year at the helm. Iowa State's Mason Williams checks both of those boxes. The 6-foot-5 guard didn't play during his one season with the Cyclones while recovering from hip surgery as coach TJ Otzelberger's team made a run to the Sweet 16 before falling to the Tennessee Volunteers, but the former Eastern Washington star has still received plenty of interest.

According to The Portal Report, Boston College, Gonzaga, Portland, and Seattle University are among the other programs that have shown interest in Williams, who stood out with the Eastern Washington Eagles during the 2024-25 season, where he tallied 13. 9 points, 3. 2 rebounds, 2.

4 assists, and 1. 2 steals per contest. Iowa State transfer Mason Williams has received interest from the following programs, he tells TPR: Washington SU Gonzaga NMST Portland Boston College Sam Houston State pic.
