Texas A&M QB Transfer Jaylen Henderson Signs with West Virginia

The West Virginia Mountaineers have officially added to the quarterback room, announcing the signing of Texas A&M transfer Jaylen Henderson.

He began his career at Fresno State, choosing the Bulldogs over offers from Air Force, Army, Boise State, Coastal Carolina, Hawai'i, Louisville, Navy, New Mexico, Rice, San Diego State, San Jose State, Southern Miss, USF, and several others.

Henderson then transferred to Texas A&M, where he appeared in five games during the 2023 season. In those appearances, he completed 53-of-78 pass attempts for 715 yards and six touchdowns to two interceptions. He also ran the ball 41 times for 104 yards and two scores.

He underwent surgery on his non-throwing arm after the 2023 season, and with a new coaching staff in place, Henderson was pushed down the depth chart.

He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
