Texas A&M is currently favored to land 2027 five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson, according to AggieYell insider Joseph Hastings. The Aggies are in a tight race with Miami, though Henderson's strong relationship with head coach Mike Elko and linebackers coach Travis Williams gives Texas A&M the edge. Henderson plans to take official visits to several top programs, including Miami, Texas A&M, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.
