The losing, Williams-Goss told The News Tribune during a telephone interview, was not the sole reason for his decision to leave, though such failure stands in stark contrast to the 124-8 record compiled by his Findlay Prep teams during his four-year career at the prep powerhouse in Henderson, Nevada.
Instead, he said the bevy of recent transfers leaving the program — and the departure of assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger, who returned to a similar position at Iowa State — made him yearn for a new opportunity elsewhere.
“I wouldn’t say anything was not good enough or anything like that,” Williams-Goss said. “I have no hard feelings for the program. Just with all the change in the last two years, all the transfers that have left, Coach T.J. leaving the staff; there’s just a lot of change in the program, and I feel like I only have two years of eligibility left, and I’m just kind of looking for a fresh start.”
Williams-Goss, a native of Happy Valley, Oregon, who was a 4-star prospect and a McDonald’s All-American and chose Washington over Harvard, was adamant that his relationship with Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar is “great,” and said he did consider returning to UW.
“We had a great meeting at the end of the season, and even when I made this decision,” Williams-Goss said. “It’s tough to say goodbye to someone who I have such a great relationship with, and I know it’s hard to say goodbye for him as well. … Although it was hard on both of our ends, there was kind of a mutual understanding.”
