Kaden Henderson, a five-star linebacker from Tampa Jesuit (Fla.), is expected to announce his commitment to Texas A&M on Thursday. The Aggies currently lead the 2027 recruiting class with four five-star commits and have gained momentum following Henderson’s recent official visit to College Station.

- •He totaled 49 tackles and nine sacks as a junior.
- •His commitment is anticipated to occur on Thursday afternoon.
