The Longhorns got the final official visit with the dynamic running back during the official visit window in June, and they have since been trending positively in this recruitment. Williams-Callis is the nation’s leading returning ball carrier heading into the 2026 season and would certainly add juice to the backfield he elects to join come August 1st.

The Longhorns already have one running back commitment for the 2027 class in Noah Roberts, but they are pushing to add Williams-Callis before shutting things down at the position for the cycle. Williams-Callis has been a high-priority target for Texas running backs coach Jabbar Juluke since he was hired, and despite initially not getting traction early on, things have been trending towards the Longhorns down the home stretch.

Landing Williams-Callis would be another big step for Texas’ efforts to secure another top-five recruiting class, and if things continue at the pace they have this summer they could make a serious push for securing a top-three class.
