Landen Williams-Callis isn’t just good, he’s a full-blown cheat code right now. The Texas Longhorns commit absolutely exploded for an incredible 327 rushing yards and five touchdowns in Richmond Randle’s dominant 78-0 win over South Houston. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and running backs coach Jabbar Juluke had a front-row seat to watch the kid put on a show that night, and honestly, who could blame them for taking it all in?
The Live Show Sarkisian Witnessed
Imagine being Sark and Juluke, hanging out on a bye week, just wanting to see your future star. Williams-Callis delivered way more than anyone could ask for. He shredded the defense for those 327 yards and five scores on just 15 carries. FIFTEEN CARRIES! That’s insane efficiency. And he wasn’t done there. He even aired it out for a 26-yard touchdown pass, which was his fourth completed pass of the season. He kicked off the scoring with a 48-yard sprint on his very first carry, then added more TD runs of 14 and 76 yards in the first half before capping it all off with that passing touchdown. This wasn’t just a win, it was a highlight reel.
A Season For The Books and A Record In Sight
What’s wild is that this kind of performance isn’t just a one-off for Williams-Callis. He’s been doing this all year. Through just five games, the kid has already piled up 1,166 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. He’s also got four completed passes on six wildcat attempts for 73 yards and two scores, plus 26 yards on four receptions. The 5-foot-8, 195-pound back has been an absolute force, with an unbelievable 16 touchdowns in his last three games alone. And get this: he’s not just breaking tackles, he’s chasing history. Williams-Callis is now just 2,662 yards shy of Keagan Ash’s all-time career rushing record for the state of Texas, which stands at 11,382 yards. With five regular-season games left and then the playoffs, that record is suddenly looking very, very vulnerable.
Will this kind of jaw-dropping production translate to college? Nobody expects him to rush for 12,000 yards on the Forty Acres, but Sarkisian has to be absolutely stoked, hoping this Houston-area star brings even a fraction of this dominance with him. That state record, though, that’s what we’re keeping an eye on right now.
