Notre Dame football has a fantastic 2027 recruiting class, with four 5-star commits in the 247Sports composite, but it could have been more and might still have a chance at adding another.

At one time it seemed like Florida linebacker Kaden Henderson would commit to the Irish, but ended up picking Texas A&M instead. It’s the one position that Notre Dame has struggled with in the cycle, but it looks like there’s potential to change Henderson’s mind.

According to a report by 247Sports Cade Draughon (subscription required), Henderson told him “Miami and Notre Dame are the only schools that’ll be talking to me still. But yeah, my recruitment is pretty set, pretty much shut down.” While it’s not a wide open door, it does seem like the elite linebacker hasn’t completely ruled out a flip.

He’s clearly still talking to the Irish and Hurricanes, which tend you to think there’s at least a slight chance for him to flip. Notre Dame should continue to recruit Henderson, even if he does shut down, he’s that good at a need position in the class.
