Texas A&M continued to build what is shaping up to be an historic recruiting class, securing the commitment of five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson on Thursday.
Henderson becomes the third player in the Aggies’ Class of 2027 to be ranked No. 1 at his position, adding another elite name to a class already sitting atop the national rankings.
According to the 247Sports composite, Henderson checks in as the No. 22 overall prospect in the 2027 cycle. The 6-foot-2, 218-pound linebacker plays his high school ball at Tampa Jesuit in Florida, and he made his college decision public live on “The Pat McAfee Show,” choosing Texas A&M over LSU and Notre Dame.
The commitment gives Texas A&M six five-star prospects in the 2027 class. Joining Henderson are offensive tackles Mark Matthews and Kennedy Brown, safeties Kamarui Dorsey and JayQuan Snell, and cornerback Raylaun Henry. Matthews and Dorsey, like Henderson, are also ranked No. 1 at their respective positions.
Overall, the Aggies now hold 23 commitments in the class, with ten of those players ranked inside the top 60 nationally by the 247Sports composite. For comparison, Texas A&M’s 2026 class finished ranked No. 10 in the country.
The class draws talent from across the country. Matthews, like Henderson, hails from Florida. Brown and Snell are from Texas, Dorsey comes out of Georgia, and Henry plays in Baltimore.
Despite missing roughly half of Tampa Jesuit’s games during his junior season due to injuries, Henderson still put up impressive numbers. According to On3, he recorded 49 tackles — including 13 for loss — along with nine sacks and two forced fumbles.
