These looks to be too much flash on these, and the stipes are washed out and too white. But there might be glandular dots on the stipe there? These look more to be young Suillus pungens, and not Boletus at all.
Yes, those totally look like Suillus. The glandular dots are evident (although blurry) in the second photo.
The stipe of Suillus, especially S. pungens, tends to be a more solid pale colour with a less fibrous texture, and the overall consistency and appearance is more translucent and waxy. B. rex-veris also usually darkens considerably more where damaged.
Kind of obscure distinctions, but they are more apparent when you have become familiar with both groups.
