Richmond (Tex.) Randle four-star running back Landen Williams-Callis continues his rise as one of the top offensive prospects in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle with the LSU Tigers keeping close tabs.

The 5-foot-7, 190-pounder checks in as the No. 3 rated running back in America with offers from the likes of Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, and Florida, among others.

Williams-Callis is coming off of a junior campaign in the Lone Star State where he ran the ball 324 times for 3,502 yards to go along with 24 receptions for 266 receiving yards – rising as one of the most prolific players in the country.

He scored a whopping 59 rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown – adding one kickoff return score – while compiling 4,035 all-purpose yards.

Now, the No. 1 running back in Texas is reaping the benefits of his stellar prep career with offers galore rolling in as programs fight for his services this offseason – including the LSU Tigers and Lane Kiffin.

"Williams-Callis was a one-man wrecking crew as a junior, finishing the Texas high school football season with 3,502 yards on 324 carries while finding the end zone a whopping 59 times," Rivals wrote.

"He earned Rivals All-American honors after the season and is considering schools from coast to coast at the next level. Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Michigan and Oregon are among the programs high on the list for him right now."

LSU brought Williams-Callis in on an official visit this weekend where he soaked in the scenes of Baton Rouge across a multi-day stay.
