Texas A&M Eyeing 3-Star Quarterback Recruit Kaeden Johnson

As for other current Aggies, sophomore Myles O'Neill led his side of the spring game to a 19-7 victory. Reed found more success in the passing game than on the ground with 18 completions for 213 yards, but could not generate enough scoring drives. 

Class of 2026 4-star quarterback commit Helaman Casuga will also put pressure on Reed to pull together a well-rounded game under center. As a sophomore, Casuga put up 4,145 passing yards and 34 touchdown completions.

But head coach Mike Elko isn't finished fine tuning his quarterback group. 

As the Aggies search for another recruit, a 3-star quarterback out of Missouri City, Texas - also the home of Miami Dolphins' running back and former Aggie De'Von Achane - has hopped on their radar.

Class of 2026 quarterback Kaeden Johnson is listed at No. 59 in his position and No. 150 in Texas, according to 247 Composite rankings. The 3-star recruit visited Texas A&M on June 12.

In the 2024 season, he threw for 2,109 yards and 25 touchdown completions with a 60 percent passing rate. He also rushed for 571 yards and six touchdowns.

For Reed to secure his spot, he needs to improve from the pocket and as a decision-maker. Especially if Johnson commits to Texas A&M, the quarterback competition only heats up down the line.
