2026 3-star ATH Kaeden Johnson worked out with two former Aggie stars

Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is stacked with elite talent, as all 22 commits bring their own specific skill sets, including one of the lower-ranked prospects in the cycle, three-star athlete/quarterback Kaeden Johnson, who is slated to play tight end with the Aggies in the fall of 2026.

Like many of the program’s commits, Johnson shut down his recruitment and is all-in with Texas A&M ahead of his senior season with Fort Bend Marshall. This summer, knowing that his future is in College Station, Johnson has reportedly been working out with two Aggie legends to refine his skill set and prepare for his position change.

In a recent photo on X, Johnson, alongside former Texas A&M standout left tackle and current longtime Atlanta Falcons blindside blocker Jake Matthews, and former Texas A&M tackle Germain Ifedi, who last played for the Cleveland Browns during the 2024 season.

Working out at the Apollo Performance & Sports Medicine center in Houston, Texas, the Aggie family is strong, and the connections are limitless, especially for the future players dedicated to sticking with the program and developing, which has become a rarity in the transfer portal age.

During his 2024 junior season, Johnson passed for 2,109 yards and 25 touchdowns, completing 60% of his passes, while also rushing for 571 yards and six touchdowns. Johnson has proven that he can play QB at the next level, but Texas A&M tight end coach Christian Ellsworth deserves credit for striking while the iron is hot, knowing that Johnson has been sky rocking locally before his OV.

According to Rivals, Johnson is currently ranked as the 34th-best athlete and the 109th-best prospect in Texas.
