While Landen Williams-Callis's collegiate debut is still months away, the Longhorns recruit is making headlines. The Texas native is a high-profile prospect and one of the best players in the 2027 class. Earlier this week, he showed why as he reached a significant milestone. In Richmond Randle High’s game on Friday, Callis surpassed 10,000 career rushing yards. He became just the fifth player in Texas history to reach the milestone. Over the last four years, he has been a highlight-reel scoring machine, with 61 touchdowns last season. That is partly why he is held in high regard by scouts.

Currently, the future Longhorn is ranked as the third-best running back in his class by 247Sports. They also rank Callis as the third-best player from the Lone Star State and the 39th player in the nation. He also received offers from Indiana, SMU, Oregon, Houston, and Indiana before committing to Texas.
When Callis arrives on campus, he is expected to be a key part of the Longhorns' future. He will be part of a freshman class that includes four-star recruits Kasi Currie, Cameron Hall, Brock Williams, Jabarrius Garror, and Brian Swanson. That group will be tasked with bringing a national title to Austin.

Although Callis will have to battle for playing time, he brings an impressive resume to the table. He is a National Player of the Year Finalist and has found the end zone over 100 times in his high school career. Regardless of who is under center for Texas, they will have a potential superstar to hand the ball off to next year in Callis.
