Texas A&M Aggies set to add 5-star linebacker Kaden Henderson
Summary

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. Notre Dame had been viewed as a frontrunner earlier this week, but confidence waned as predictions shifted in favor of Texas A&M. Henderson ranks as the nation's top linebacker and is known for his elite athleticism and tackling ability, prompting a strong interest from several top programs.
