Jaylen Henderson is an American football quarterback who last played for the Texas A&M Aggies. He previously played for the Fresno State Bulldogs.

High school career

[edit]

Henderson attended Chaminade College Preparatory School in San Fernando Valley, California.[1] In his junior year, Henderson passed for 2,664 yards and 20 touchdowns.[2] In his senior season, he threw for 15 touchdowns, before committing to play college football at California State University, Fresno.[3]

College career

[edit]

Henderson played sparingly for two seasons at Fresno State, appearing in five games, before announcing that he would enter the transfer portal in April 2023.[4]

In May 2023, Henderson announced that he would transfer to Texas A&M.[5][6] He entered the 2023 season, as the third-string quarterback behind Conner Weigman and Max Johnson. However, following injuries to Weigman and Johnson, Henderson was named the team's starting quarterback against Mississippi State.[7] In his first career start, Henderson combined for four total touchdowns, two passing and two rushing, while leading Texas A&M in a 51–10 rout.[8][9][10] The following week against Abilene Christian, he passed for 260 yards and two touchdowns, in a 38–10 victory.[11][12] In his first career start on the road against No. 14 LSU, Henderson passed for 294 yards and two touchdowns in a 30–42 defeat, his first career loss as a starter.[13]

Henderson started the 2023 Texas Bowl, where he suffered an injury on the first play from scrimmage, landing awkwardly on his right arm. He exited the field with a brace over his arm and was replaced by true freshman Marcel Reed.[14][15] Texas A&M went on to lose the game 23–31 in Henderson's absence.[16]

The following season, Henderson served as the backup to Weigman and Reed, before entering the transfer portal for the second time.[17][18]
