Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class features one of the more intriguing athletes in the cycle, who is expected to play tight end with the Aggies once he makes his way to campus. As the starting quarterback for Fort Bend Marshall HS in Missouri City, Texas, the school where former standout running back De’Von Achane played, three-star athlete Kaeden Johnson has now become a coveted prospect in the SEC.
Sometimes, it takes just one notable program noticing an under-the-radar prospect’s ability to create a momentum shift, which has become the case with Johnson, who has now received an offer from Auburn, where his father, Spencer Johnson, played for the Tigers from 2000 to 2003. Johnson also reportedly has other family members who live in the Auburn, Alabama area.
Johnson has now shut down his recruitment, like many of the program’s 26 commitments in the class. However, during a recent interview with On3/Rivals Auburn insider Jeffrey Lee, Johnson stated that he is “pretty locked in with Texas A&M,” compared to the excitement surrounding the offer from his childhood team.
“I’m still trying to gt a date set,” Johnson stated. “But it’s going to take a lot. I’m pretty locked in with A&M.”
Johnson further explained that, while the offer is both exciting and personal, Texas A&M remains the leader to sign him in early December.
“It’s a cool opportunity to get offered by Auburn where my dad played, but it’s going to take a lot to change my commitment.”
Johnson’s 2024 season included 2,109 yards and 25 touchdowns through the air, completing 60% of his passes, while also rushing for 571 yards and six touchdowns. Johnson is now the 174th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle and the 24th-ranked prospect in Texas.
