Texas A&M is making waves in the 2027 recruiting cycle, steadily crafting one of the nation's top classes. The Aggies are already sitting comfortably in the top three, and they’re just getting started. With several elite prospects still on their radar, the excitement is building.
One standout target is Kaden Henderson, the top-ranked linebacker in the country. The Aggies' recent addition of Travis Williams to the coaching staff has bolstered their appeal to elite linebackers. Steve Wiltfong from Rivals has even predicted that Henderson will commit to Texas A&M, a move that could significantly boost the Aggies' defensive lineup.
As Daymion Sanford is expected to move on after this season, the Aggies are eager to fill the linebacker position with top-tier talent. Securing Henderson would be a game-changer for Mike Elko and his team.
Henderson is a five-star player, ranked 19th nationally by 247Sports Composite and 16th in the Rivals300. Originally from Tampa, Florida, he’s a hot commodity, and the Gators’ new head coach Jon Sumrall is determined to keep him in-state. However, Texas A&M has laid a solid foundation in this recruiting battle.
Henderson's athletic prowess makes him a versatile asset, potentially excelling as a pass-rusher. Given Elko's success with similar players, it’s no wonder Henderson is leaning towards joining the Aggies.
Landing Henderson would be a monumental achievement for Texas A&M. With Travis Williams and Mike Elko at the helm, the Aggies are poised to make a significant impact if they can seal the deal.
