Notre Dame football has one of the best 2027 recruiting classes in the country, and while there are currently 23 verbal commitments, there is still room for a few more.

One of those potential recruit is linebacker Kaden Henderson, but the 6-foot, 2-inch and 220-pounder is currently committed to Texas A&M. Before picking the Aggies, it very much looked like the Irish would win out, but that wasn’t the case.

However, Notre Dame has not given up in their pursuit of the nation’s No. 24 overall player in the 247Sports composite, as Mike Singer reported on Tuesday that Henderson is expected to be in South Bend this weekend, as the Irish host the Miami Hurricanes.

It’s the biggest game of the year, for multiple reasons, and now Notre Dame has another one to add to the list. Expect the Irish coaching staff to put the full-court press on Henderson, as they look to flip their top remaining 2027 target.
