Five-star RB Landen Williams-Callis commits to Texas over rivals

On August 1, 2026, Landen Williams-Callis, a five-star running back from Richmond Randle, committed to the Texas Longhorns. This commitment came after a hot recruiting period for Texas, where they ultimately secured Williams-Callis over Texas A&M, Missouri, SMU, and Houston. Initially, other programs had an edge, but Texas running backs coach Jabbar Juluke's persistence paid off after gaining traction during an official visit in June. Williams-Callis, who has gained over 7,500 rushing yards and 125 rushing touchdowns during his varsity career, strengthens Texas’ already impressive recruiting class, now ranked No. 5 in the 247Sports Composite rankings.
