Texas A&M Recruiting: 4-star QB Helaman Casuga commits to Mike Elko's program
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class just got better with a new addition. Four-star quarterback Helaman Casuga out of Corner Canyon High School in Utah announced his commitment to the Aggies on Thursday on a live stream, via the 247Sports YouTube channel. He chose A&M over the other two schools in his top three: USC and Washington.
Texas A&M offered Casuga in April, and he took an unofficial visit for the Aggies' Week 1 game against Notre Dame.
Helaman Casuga discussed Texas A&M and some of what went into his decision to commit:
"Meeting with coach Mike Elko and coach Collin Klein was everything I expected, top notch. My family means everything to me and having them with me was my highlight. Some of the things that stood out for them was how nice the people were especially the Aggie staff."
