Hampton University Athletics

Hampton University junior quarterback Jaylian Williamson was named HU Athlete of the Week following his record-setting performance on the football field this past weekend.

Williamson (Chesapeake, Va.) threw for a school-record 407 yards in Saturday’s 41-28 loss at Old Dominion, completing 32 of his 45 passes. It’s just the third time in program history that a Pirates quarterback has thrown for 400 yards in a game, and the first time since Herbert Bynes in 2008.
 
He threw three touchdown passes, including a 75-yard catch-and-run to senior Jorrian Washington (Los Angeles, Calif.).
