The No. 1 linebacker in the 2027 recruiting class has announced the date of when he will announce his commitment between Texas A&M, LSU and Notre Dame.
According to On3 Sports recruiting reporter Hayes Fawcett, Kaden Henderson said he will announce on Thursday, June 18. The 6-foot, 225-pounder from Tampa, Florida, will decide between the Aggies, Tigers, or Fighting Irish, all of which have made massive pushes to reel in one of the top players in the 2027 cycle.
The No. 26 player in America pushed his commitment announcement up 13 days earlier than expected. Per Rivals director of recruiting Chad Simmons, Henderson felt like he knew where he wanted to be, which could be in Bryan-College Station, Texas.
In a recent interview with recruiting insider Steve Wilftong, he stated that his decision day, originally slated for July 1, could come earlier, depending on when he felt it was right.
“I’m very close to my decision,” Henderson stated to Rivals after his official visit with Texas A&M. “My commitment date is July 1, but it may not be that day. It could be two weeks, it could be one week. This decision could be made in a few days. It really is whenever the time is right for me and my family.”
Wiltfong has predicted that Texas A&M will land Henderson, despite some Notre Dame recruiting insiders projecting the prized linebacker to land with the Blue and Gold. He has taken official visits to LSU, Miami and Texas A&M, but has only traveled to South Bend for an unofficial visit so far.
If Mike Elko lands Henderson’s commitment on Thursday, it would make the currently-ranked No. 1 recruiting class in college football even more solidified.
