Texas A&M has dominated the 2027 Florida recruiting landscape
· Yahoo Sports
Texas A&M coach Mike Elko should be considered the best recruiter in the country, at least for now, after landing five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson on Thursday afternoon, who became the Aggies' 10th top 100-ranked prospect to commit to the program, further proving that Elko and his staff are building something special in College Station.
In the 2026 signing class, Texas A&M dominated the Georgia recruiting pipeline, landing four top prospects from the Peach State, and while the Aggies continue to cast a wide recruiting net, Florida has become a hot spot despite battling the Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes, who continue to keep top prospects in-state.

However, in today's NIL-driven recruiting landscape, relationships and fit are everything, knowing that money won't be an issue within the Power Four conferences, so when it comes down to making a final choice, Texas A&M's bright future under coach Mike Elko has swayed four of the top-ranked 2027 recruits in the Sunshine State, now including Kaden Henderson.
After landing the program's No. 1 and No. 2 ranked commits, five-star edge Zyron Forstall, and five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews, rising four-star defensive lineman Frederick Ards III made things official, while Kaden Henderson isn't just the cherry on top of an elite Florida haul, but the first five-star linebacker commit under Mike Elko and former head coaches Jimbo Fisher and Kevin Sumlin. Also including three-star athlete Loia Valade, Florida has been more than kind to the Aggies.
Elko isn't finished recruiting Florida-based prospects, already receiving a prediction to land five-star wide receiver Eric McFarland, who took his OV late last month, and will announce his commitment on June 28.
Four 2027 Texas A&M commits are among the top seven Florida recruits, and they're all top 100 overall (per the Rivals Industry rankings):
