Last weekend, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko hosted one of the program’s top priority prospects in the 2027 recruiting class, as five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson took his official visit with the Aggies before taking his OV to Notre Dame this weekend, and based on recent intel, Texas A&M is firmly in the mix to land the blue-chip LB.
During his latest interview with On3 recruiting insider Steve Wiltfong, Henderson stated that he had a “great time” during his A&M OV, and is close to announcing his commitment, currently slated for July 1, but could make his final decision earlier based on how he feels after finishing his string of official visits, which he discussed with Rivals on Saturday.
“I’m very close to my decision,” Henderson stated to Rivals. “My commitment date is July 1, but it may not be that day. It could be two weeks, it could be one week. This decision could be made in a few days. It really is whenever the time is right for me and my family.”
In years past, Texas A&M missed on several blue-chip linebackers, especially during former head coach Jimbo Fisher’s six-year tenure, including former five-star Anthony Hill, who flipped from A&M to Texas in the 2023 recruiting class, just a year before Fisher was fired. Still, stars aren’t everything, especially after star linebacker Taurean York’s productive three seasons as the Aggies’ starting MLB.
After signing four linebackers in the 2026 cycle, adding Henderson would solidify Texas A&M’s future rotation and provide new linebackers coach, Travis Williams, with one of the more versatile defensive playmakers, as Elko and Williams have reportedly “answered all the questions” before making his choice.
“Texas A&M answered all the questions I had for them. Knowing how much of a priority I am for this class and the relationships with the staff and committed players, that means a lot.”
