Keeping elite in-state talent home has been one of Steve Sarkisian's biggest priorities since he was hired as Texas' head coach in January 2021.
Sarkisian hasn't had much problem doing just that and those successes continued on Saturday, Aug. 1 as Randle (TX) Richmond five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis announced his commitment to the Longhorns. He chose Texas over Missouri, SMU and Texas A&M.
According to 247Sports, the 5-foot-7.5, 190-pounder is ranked as the No. 37 overall prospect, the No. 3 running back and No. 3 prospect out of Texas for the 2027 cycle.
However, the USA TODAY Sports composite ranks him as the No. 27 overall prospect in the country and the No. 3 running back, trailing only Georgia commit Kemon Spell and Tennessee commit David Gabriel Georges.
There weren't many running backs in the country who had a better year statistically than Williams-Callis in 2025. In 16 games, he led the Lions to a 15-1 record, averaging 218.9 rushing yards per game and rushing for 3,502 yards and 59 touchdowns on 324 carries.
