Randle running back Landen Williams-Callis etched his name into the Houston high school football record books, smashing the all-time career touchdown record with his 137th score Thursday night. This wasn’t just a record broken, it was a record taken from his own cousin, Jacquizz Rodgers, who previously held the impressive mark.
A New King in Houston Football
Williams-Callis wasted no time making history against Victoria East. He scored the record-tying touchdown on a blistering 40-yard run up the right sideline during the Lions’ opening possession. Then, a short time later, he sealed his legend, putting up the record-breaking 32-yard run, also up the right sideline. Jacquizz Rodgers had set the bar with 136 career touchdowns during his time at Lamar Consolidated from 2004-07. Williams-Callis, a five-star Texas commit and the reigning Gatorade Texas Football Player of the Year, entered the game needing two scores, having 135 career touchdowns already under his belt, broken down as 127 rushing, seven receiving, and one kickoff return.
Milestones Keep Falling for the Randle Star
The touchdown record wasn’t the only history Williams-Callis made Thursday night. He also stormed past another massive milestone, hitting 8,000 career rushing yards. He started the night with 7,931 yards, needing just 69 to get there. With his second touchdown run, he became only the fifth player in Houston high school football history to reach that incredible mark. This kid is a highlight reel waiting to happen. Last season alone, he rushed for an insane 3,502 yards and 59 touchdowns, setting a Houston-area single-season record with 61 total touchdowns.
What a night for Randle football, and what a future for Williams-Callis as he looks ahead to Texas. The numbers he’s putting up are just wild, and the rest of the season is bound to be a show.
