Former Washington guard Quimari Peterson is taking the next step in his career overseas, signing with Hubo Limburg United in Limburg, Belgium.
Peterson spent one season in Seattle after transferring to Washington, and now he’ll continue his career in the BNXT League, the top tier of basketball in Belgium. The league uses a promotion-and-relegation system similar to soccer.
The 6-foot-1 guard arrived at UW after stints at Indiana State in 2021-22 and East Tennessee State from 2023-25. His final season with the Buccaneers was the best scoring stretch of his college career.
In 32 games, all starts, Peterson averaged 19.5 points while shooting 46.8% from the field and 42.2% from 3-point range. He also added 4.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and two steals per game.
His numbers dipped at Washington, but Peterson still carved out a major role for a team that spent stretches short-handed. He was one of the few Huskies to appear in all 33 games, and with injuries forcing the roster down to seven or eight scholarship players at times, that kind of availability mattered.
In 33 games and 18 starts on Montlake, Peterson averaged 30.9 minutes per game and finished with 9.2 points on 38.9% shooting overall and 35% from deep. He also contributed 2.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals per contest. Defensively, he was one of Washington’s steadiest perimeter options, especially when the Huskies were matching up with some of the better guards and wings in Big Ten play.
Peterson’s eligibility expired at the end of the season. His exit, along with other departures through graduation, eligibility and the transfer portal, left Washington with nine roster spots to fill, and the Huskies completed that roster work this past week.
Washington is still trying to rebound from a 16-17 season after entering last year with the 24th-ranked recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports, along with a strong mix of Class of 2025 commitments, transfer additions and international signings. The Huskies missed the NCAA tournament and are aiming to get back for the first time since 2019.

Washington Basketball Just Entered A Wild New NIL Reality
Washingtons roster for the 2026-27 season is now full after the Huskies added Harun Zrno from Rutgers, giving Danny Sprinkle 15 players to work with as he keeps reshaping the program. It is the latest sign of how quickly things have changed in Montlake, where only six players are back from last season and the staff is again trying to build chemistry almost from scratch.
Wesley Yates III is viewed as the likeliest top earner on the current UW roster, a reminder of how much NIL has altered the economics of college basketball. Yates has already had to fight through a broken wrist and surgery, then work his way back into form, and now the bigger question around Washington is not just who plays the biggest role, but how this new financial reality affects the way the Huskies keep this group together.

42 Days Until Kickoff And This Huskies Number Carries Real History
With 42 days left until the 2026 opener against Washington State, the number on the Huskies jersey carries a little more weight than most. It is one of those countdown stops that doubles as a reminder of how much program history lives in the details, from Jay Barrys memorable burst in the 1991 title chase to Cory Littletons rise from an overlooked recruit to a Washington standout and then an NFL linebacker.
Carson Bruener gave the number a modern chapter, too, after a solid college career that ended with him becoming Washingtons lone selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Huskies have had different kinds of players wear 42, from one-game swing pieces to long-term contributors, and that mix is what makes the number worth a second look as the season draws closer.
