ROSENBERG – Landen Williams-Callis has always been a throwback recruit. He was the first solo high school athlete on the cover of Dave Campbell's Texas Football since Midland Lee legend Cedric Benson in 2000.

And, his recruitment harkened back to the late 1990s, where no one in the country had any idea he was committing to the University of Texas until he announced it in front of a standing room only crowd at the Rosenberg Civic Center.
