Texas A&M University has secured a significant commitment for its 2026 football recruiting class with the addition of four-star dual-threat quarterback Helaman Casuga. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound prospect from Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, chose the Aggies over offers from USC and Washington, signaling a promising future for the program under head coach Mike Elko.
A Dual-Threat Playmaker
Casuga’s playing style combines the traditional pocket-passing abilities of a pro-style quarterback with the mobility and improvisational skills of a dual-threat athlete. He has demonstrated exceptional vision and quick decision-making, traits that are crucial for executing run-pass option (RPO) schemes effectively. His ability to read defenses and make swift decisions mirrors the playing style of current Aggies quarterback Conner Weigman, suggesting a seamless fit within Texas A&M’s offensive system.

Impressive High School Career
During his sophomore season, Casuga threw for 4,145 yards and 34 touchdowns, leading Corner Canyon to an 8-1 record and a victory over the nationally recognized IMG Academy. Over the past two seasons, he has accumulated over 6,475 passing yards and 60 touchdowns, showcasing his consistency and high-level performance on the field.
Commitment to Aggies
Casuga’s decision to commit to Texas A&M was influenced by the program’s upward trajectory and the opportunity to work with offensive coordinator Collin Klein, a former Heisman finalist. Casuga expressed confidence in the Aggies’ direction, stating, “They’re building something special down at A&M!”
Strategic Fit for the Future
Casuga’s commitment adds depth to Texas A&M’s quarterback room, complementing the 2025 class’s five-star recruit, Husan Longstreet. Both recruits bring unique skill sets that can adapt to various offensive schemes, providing the Aggies with versatile options for the future. As the program continues to build momentum, Casuga’s addition is a strategic move to ensure sustained success in the highly competitive SEC
With Casuga’s commitment, Texas A&M not only strengthens its offensive lineup but also reinforces its reputation as a destination for top-tier quarterback talent. As the 2026 recruiting class develops, the Aggies’ focused approach to building a balanced and dynamic team is evident, setting the stage for a promising future in college football.
