Over the last few months, the Texas Longhorns have been busy adding to their 2026 class. More help could be on the way, as four-star safety Isaiah Williams released his top five schools, which included the Longhorns. While Wiliams has not set a commitment date, but his recruitment is being closely watched.
Earlier this season, Williams made headlines when he visited Austin during week one. He was originally supposed to visit Texas A&M but prioritized seeing the Longhorns in action. They did not disappoint in a 52-0 win in which they held Colorado State to 192 yards of total offense.
During his visit, Williams liked what he saw. After the game, the Fort Bend Marshall product told OrangeBloods Writer/Editor Jason Suchomel, “It was good. It was domination, what I expected. It was a good game, good atmosphere. I had a good time all around.”

Although the Longhorns have made a good impression on Williams, they still have competition. The other schools in his top five are Ohio State, LSU, Missouri, and Oklahoma. His interest from some of the top programs in the country comes as no surprise. Rivals ranks him as the 23rd-best safety in the 2026 class.
If Texas can land Williams, they will add one of the top safeties on the board. The Longhorns already have one of the best defenses in the nation, and adding a player like Wiliams will make their future brighter.
