2015 college football preview | Hampton University

COURTESY HAMPTON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS
HAMPTON, Virginia -- Remember Jaylian Williamson? The Hampton University quarterback lit up Old Dominion for 407 passing yards and three touchdowns last season, then added 385 yards a week later against William & Mary, then disappeared after a clash with coach Connell Maynor.

Remember QB Jerrell Antoine? He was MEAC Rookie of the Week three times last season but disappeared because there’s a new/old guy back in town.

Remember David Watford? He set a University of Virginia record with 427 passes in a sophomore season (2013), then disappeared when the Cavaliers looked at his 15 interceptions and the team’s 2-10 record and decided there was a cause and effect.

He’s back where it all started, in Hampton.

“It’s a wonderful thing to be able to come home to be around my family, my friends, people I grew up around,” Watford said. “To be able to play in front of my home crowd in my home city – there’s no better feeling.”
