Texas recruiting has been on fire in the summer, gaining 12 commits since June 1st<\/a> and vaulting into the top 5 classes. The most recent addition, Ismael Camara, was the third five-star in Steve Sarkisian\u2019s class and it seems he won\u2019t be the last. Landen Williams-Callis, a five-star RB out of Richmond, Texas, is a name to watch as July continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n On3 Inside Texas scribe Justin Wells<\/a> has placed a prediction for the RB to land in Austin. He joins his colleagues, Eric Nahlin and Charlie Williams, that placed predictions in Texas\u2019 favor after his visit to Texas. Ever since that visit, Texas has been viewed as the favorite in this recruitment and could be closing in on a commitment it seems.\u00a0<\/p>\n Williams-Callis stands at just 5-8, 190lbs but brings truly elite speed to the table. As a sophomore in high school, he ran a 10.65 100-meter dash and a 22.25 200-meter. That speed is well-founded when you see who his cousin is. Former Oregon State star RB and WR, Jaquizz and James Rodgers are Williams-Callis\u2019 cousins. Both played in the NFL, following their father and Williams-Callis\u2019 uncle Michael Lewis.\u00a0<\/p>\n The numbers on the football field align with his NFL family ties, producing insane numbers at 5A Richmond Randle High School. In 2025, he rushed for 3,502 yards in 16 games(218.9 per game) and 59 TDs on the ground. He added 266 receiving yards, a receiving TD, a passing TD and a kick return TD. In his freshman and sophomore campaigns, he combined for nearly 4,000 rushing yards and 66 TDs. He\u2019s an electric playmaker that is a danger to score any time he touches the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, that\u2019s not to say Texas doesn\u2019t have its fair share of challengers. Houston and SMU have become the two teams to watch outside of the Longhorns<\/a> in this recruitment. However, it seems Texas is running in front and the earlier a commitment comes, the better for them. If Texas earns the commitment, they\u2019ll add another five-star offensive playmaker to the 2026 class, joining Easton Royal.<\/p>\n
