Brock Williams, one of the top tight ends in the Class of 2027, committed to Texas on Friday.

He is listed as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports composite, ranked as the No. 4 tight end in the nation and the No. 79 recruit overall.

He had offers from 36 power-conference schools, as well as Notre Dame, and chose the Longhorns over Georgia and Ohio State.

ESPN considers him to be No. 2 at the position and No. 70 in the nation.

Williams, who is 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, plays at Libertyville (Ill.) High School.

As a junior in 2025, Williams made 44 catches for 596 yards and 11 touchdowns in 10 games. He also returned both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown.
