Five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis has committed to the University of Texas for the 2027 recruiting class. The Richmond, Texas native chose the Longhorns over Missouri, SMU, and Texas A&M, becoming a major addition to the program's future roster.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian continues his push to secure the state's top talent. Williams-Callis is ranked as a top-three running back in the nation for his cycle. The 5-foot-7.5, 190-pound prospect brings impressive production to Austin, having rushed for 3,502 yards and 59 touchdowns during the 2025 high school season.
His commitment adds to a growing list of elite recruits choosing Texas. With this decision, the Longhorns now hold three five-star commitments for the 2027 class. This trend aligns with the staff's goal of keeping high-level in-state prospects within the program as they build for the coming years.
Williams-Callis is currently nearing a significant milestone in his high school career, needing 2,446 yards to reach 10,000 career rushing yards. His transition to college football will be closely watched by analysts and fans alike as he wraps up his final high school season.
