Kamran Williams arrives at UNLV as a high-upside, highly rated Texas back with legit Power-5 interest
Kamran Williams enters the 2026 season as a redshirt freshman at UNLV after being rated a unanimous three-star recruit, the No. 40 RB nationally by Rivals, and a top-10 Texas running back prospect; he also chose the Rebels over offers from Michigan, Houston, Memphis, and Texas Tech. In the 2025 season, his stat line was tiny—just 1 carry for 1 yard—but the real draw is his pedigree: a productive high-school runner with 6,250 yards and 63 TDs, plus the burst and recruiting profile that suggest more upside than box-score volume so far.
