The 2026 high school football season in the Houston area is already generating buzz as several standout athletes are on the cusp of rewriting local record books.
Landen Williams‑Callis, a junior standout from Katy, has already amassed 133 career touchdowns, putting him within striking distance of the Houston‑area mark of 136 set by Jacquizz Rodgers. His 61‑touchdown junior season established a new single‑season record, and he now eyes the all‑time rushing yardage crown previously held by Kenneth Hall.
Kenneth Hall, famously nicknamed ‘The Sugar Land Express,’ set the previous rushing record with 11,232 career yards in 1953, a benchmark that has stood for more than seven decades. Williams‑Callis’s blend of size, speed and relentless drive makes him the favorite to surpass that total before graduation.
Meanwhile, Lincoln Frazier of Willis burst onto the scene as a freshman, throwing for 4,232 yards and 43 touchdowns — the second‑most passing yards in Houston history behind only D.J. Lagway’s 4,604‑yard performance. His rapid ascent has turned him into a focal point for college recruiters across the nation.
Artavion Davis of Summer Creek capped his junior year with 94 receptions for 1,602 yards and 22 scores, highlighted by a 13‑catch, 352‑yard, five‑touchdown explosion against North Forest. His size and route‑running precision have placed him among the elite receivers in recent memory.
Alvin Mosley and Benny Easter, both seniors, sit tied at 31 career receiving touchdowns, a tally that threatens the single‑season record of 33 set by CeeDee Lamb. Their continued production suggests the record could fall before the season’s end.
Noah Spinks of Summer Creek added another layer of excitement by scoring eight touchdowns in a single game against Manvel, finishing the year with 43 touchdowns and only five interceptions. His efficiency and knack for finding the end zone have made him a focal point of local headlines.
A Coach on the Verge
On the sidelines, Katy coach Gary Joseph is inching toward the all‑time Houston‑area coaching wins record with 286 victories, a testament to his sustained excellence and ability to develop talent year after year.
