By Brandon Marcello, CBS Sports: UNLV will turn to a veteran transfer after the controversial exit of starting quarterback Matthew Sluka, CBS Sports has learned. Hajj-Malik Williams, a record-setting passer and runner in the FCS, will start for the College Football Playoff-chasing Rebels on Saturday against Fresno State.
The senior has played in two games this season and has 88 yards on 10 carries but has not yet attempted a pass. He played five seasons at Campbell, where he departed as the career leader in passing yards (8,326) and touchdowns (58).
He also ran for 1,600 yards and 24 touchdowns in his career there. In 11 games last season, Williams threw for a school-record 2,597 yards and 19 touchdowns while completing 70% of his passes. A multi-time All-Big South player with an All-America honor as a freshman, he was frequently ranked in the top 10 of multiple offensive categories in the FCS during his career.
