Overview
- Landen Williams‑Callis announced his commitment to the University of Texas during a live ceremony that streamed on Dave Campbell’s Texas Football and was carried by ABC13 on Saturday, Aug. 1.
- Williams‑Callis selected Texas over finalists Houston, Missouri, SMU and Texas A&M after a months‑long recruitment that included official visits to all five schools and a late push from Texas A&M.
- He is a consensus five‑star running back ranked among the nation’s best with a 2025 season of 3,502 rushing yards and 59 touchdowns and career totals of roughly 7,554 yards and 133 touchdowns entering his senior year.
- The commitment gives Texas an immediate upgrade at the position and a boost in composite class rankings, adding to a class that now includes multiple five‑star prospects and sits among the top classes nationally.
- Williams‑Callis will enter his senior high‑school season as a Texas commit while chasing state rushing records, and rival programs, especially Texas A&M, are expected to adjust their 2027 backfield recruiting plans in response.
