Texas A&M Lands Top LB Prospect

Texas A&M just landed a massive recruiting win with five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson, who chose them over Notre Dame — a huge vote of confidence in coach Mike Elko and his new defensive scheme. Henderson’s decision came down to strong relationships with Elko and linebackers coach Travis Williams, plus a perfect fit in their system. This marks the highest-rated linebacker ever to commit to A&M, signaling a potential turning point for the program’s linebacker corps — especially after years of struggling to land elite talent at the position. With ten Aggies drafted in 2026, the momentum is clear: Elko’s staff is building a defense primed for NFL success, and Henderson could be the first of many standout linebackers to emerge from College Station under this new era.
