Raylaun Henry, a highly touted 5-star cornerback in the 2027 recruiting class, has shut down his recruitment and plans to sign with Texas A&M in early December. Henry, who is currently ranked as the 18th-best prospect in the 2027 class and the top-ranked cornerback, has been committed to the Aggies since mid-November and has repeatedly stated that he remains "150% committed" to the program.

Why it matters

Henry's commitment is a major win for Texas A&M and head coach Mike Elko, as the Aggies continue to build an impressive 2027 recruiting class filled with blue-chip prospects. Henry's shutdown of his recruitment also allows the Aggies' coaching staff to shift their focus to landing other top targets, such as 5-star cornerback John Meredith.

The details

At 6'1" and over 180 pounds, Henry possesses impressive size, speed, and football IQ, which has led to him being considered one of the top cornerback prospects in the 2027 class. He was dominant during his junior season at the prestigious St. Frances Academy, helping lead his team to a National Championship victory. Henry is skilled enough to potentially see the field as soon as he steps on campus in College Station.

  • Henry committed to Texas A&M in mid-November 2026.
