Texas A&M will host elite 2027 5-star RB this weekend
· Yahoo Sports
It's another massive recruiting weekend for coach Mike Elko and his staff, especially ace recruiter Trooper Taylor, as 2027 five-star running back Landon Williams-Callis will make his way to College Station for his official visit. After hosting four-star back and Texas Tech commit SaRod Baker last week, the Aggies are hoping to secure the five-star back's commitment as soon as next week.

Based on Rivals' prediction machine, Texas A&M has nearly a 90% chance to land Williams-Callis, and if this weekend's OV goes as planned, the Aggies will be in a prime position to land their first running back commit after signing former five-star RB KJ Edwards in the 2026 cycle.
It's clear that Elko and Taylor view both Williams-Callis and SaRod Baker as the top two backs in the 2027 class based on their elite production, who have both led their respective high school offenses year after year, including Williams-Callis producing 7,551 yards, 125 rushing touchdowns, led by his career-high 3,502 yards and 59(!) rushing scores during his 2025 junior season at Randle.
However, while Texas A&M is the favorite, Williams-Callis will reportedly take an official visit with the Texas Longhorns next weekend, and has already completed OVs with Indiana, LSU, SMU, Oregon, Missouri, and Houston. Still, even though Texas is nationally seen as a competitor to land the standout back, On3's Steve Wiltfong remains high on the Aggies to ultimately win the battle.
"Relationships between Williams-Callis and the Texas A&M staff are very strong, and he is a prospect I could ultimately see being a part of the Aggies’ top-ranked 2027 recruiting class."
According to Rivals, Landon Williams-Callis is currently the 42nd-ranked 2027 prospect, the 3rd-ranked running back, and the 8th-ranked prospect in Texas.
