Landen Williams-Callis Update Couple of things to know from the Texas side on the pursuit of Richmond (Texas) Randle record-setting RB Landen Williams-Callis. 1. Texas is going to be very competitive in the NIL part of the equation. 2. A person very close to the recruitment of LW-C likes the idea of the Houston area RB being the next big time RB to wear the Texas Longhorns uniform. As another source told OTF Monday morning, Texas "absolutely" has a chance. Tuesday morning percentage: 45%

Kyron Brown Announcement Thread Amarillo (Texas) Palo Duro WR Kyron Brown is scheduled to announce his decision today at 1:30pm CT at the Palo Duro auditorium. Texas is considered the favorite over Northwestern and Kansas State.

Heat fans on cloud nine ... one being my son lol Team has plenty of scoring and rebounding punch Can fight in the East

Absolutely! Love it

NIl offers are still being made … Texas may jump big here

Haha. That’s great

TY!

Very good exhibition game … like it

Crump should be a solid fit in Geno’s offensive scheme

Awesome! Great to have you back, and thank you for being part of the OTF community!

No. Look on page one. Texas already has 6 starters level players, key roles players, plans for player development. The top teams preseason next year have rosters accounted for ... Florida, Duke, Illinois, UConn, Texas, Tennessee etc... everyone has recruited their rosters, maybe save a potential key backup.

Just a reminder for this thread before it gets completely in La-La land. Texas has a terrific roster, with vast majority of NIL spent and accounted for. Texas is not going to try and pluck a Michigan starting player when they already have a roster accounted for, and NIL pretty much accounted for. Texas has six starters right now on their roster in the staffs mind, and some really good role players accounted for. The Texas roster was recruited for roles and minutes/rotations. There's also player development plans for players. Florida, Duke, UConn, Texas, Tennessee, etc... those rosters are already built. And so many teams have spent their allotment on rosters. But I'm willing to bet Michigan hires a damn good coach, and those Michigan kids are under some very nice NIL contracts and remain with the Wolverines for the 2026-27 season. They are already in classes, and summer workouts too. If I was a freshman like a Brandon McCoy, it would give me pause. But very few options at this point in June.

lol Zero chance

Texas isn't going to get a starter level player from Michigan for multiple reasons. 1. NIL spend is high on those guys, and they are starters. 2. Michigan will hire a very good coach, and those guys on the team are making big NIL there. 3. So many schools are already very near or tapped out on NIL for their 2026-27 team.

lol. No chance

correct

Negotiations ... nothing decided. NIL offers can be made/change all the way up until a decision is made

Wild card recruitment ... as I have said. The source, which is very close to LW-C, said Texas "absolutely" has a chance. He also said A&M has the relationships advantage. I believe a key part of this recruitment is ... the NIL piece of this is not decided by schools. That will be impactful.

Landen Williams-Callis Update OnTexasFootball spoke to a source close to the recruitment of star running back Landen Williams-Callis this morning. The word on the Richmond (Texas) Randle record-setting runner fell in line with what we have heard in recent weeks, and yesterday. This recruitment is less predictable than some, to say the least. Taking eight official visits will always create more questions around a recruitment. The source said this is a recruitment in which relationships with LW-C, and as important the close circle around him will be very impactful. That's not to say NIL won't be key too, as nobody is going to put heads in sand. The length of relationships and depth of relationships has given Texas A&M an edge for a while. He made an OV June 12-14. When I asked if Texas has a chance, a quick answer was "absolutely". Texas has/is working to make up ground in relationships with the change at RB coach from Choice to Scott to Juluke. Steve Sarkisian is involved in this one, as much as he can be. The visit over the weekend helped Texas in terms of relationships with the close circle. Oregon also has a legit shot, as we have been reporting. The source called Houston the "sleeper" in this recruitment as well. The circle, led by uncle and former NFL Pro Bowl safety Michael Lewis, have plenty of experience with recruiting and most importantly player/coach relationships. LW-C has experienced shoulders to lean on in this process. The source also said LW-C does plan to announce before his senior season (likely in July, as of today), but is also taking a patient approach to not rushing a quick decision. Texas A&M should be considered the favorite, with Oregon, Texas and Houston in the upset position.

Hippy Fathers Day … again
