Texas A&M QB Jaylen Henderson set to return for 2024 season

Texas A&M quarterback Jaylen Henderson will return to College Station for the 2024 season, per the A&P Agency.

A former three-star recruit, he transferred to Texas A&M after two years at Fresno State. With Connor Weigman and Max Johnson both dealing with injuries this season, Henderson stepped up and played in five games, throwing for 715 yards and six touchdowns.

His best performance came in a 51-10 win over Mississippi State in November. He finished 11 of 19 for 150 yards. The quarterback showed off his dual-threat ability, too, rushing for 60 yards and another two scores. In his first game throwing a pass in two seasons, Henderson led Texas A&M to six scores in seven first-half drives.

He suffered a humerus fracture to his non-throwing arm in the Texas Bowl against Oklahoma State, undergoing surgery to repair the injury last week.

With the NCAA’s new guidance on multi-time transfers, Jaylen Henderson was eligible to play at a new school in the 2024-25 academic year without securing a waiver. He’s instead staying put in College Station, helping build with Mike Elko.
