A big-time signal caller in the class of 2026 has his sights set on Aggieland as Draper (UT) Corner Canyon QB Helaman Casuga has announced his verbal commitment to Texas A&M.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder was one of the Aggies' top overall targets in the class and was a Collin Klein favorite.
Casuga had racked up some impressive offers early in his high school career, but he ultimately chose the Maroon & White over USC and Washington.
The kid shows a well-rounded skillset on tape. He’s comfortable on the move and flashes a nice feel for touch and trajectory. He shows nice awareness and pocket presence while also having good strength along with contact balance to keep him upright.
You can view some junior highlights below.
Casuga is the third commitment of A&M’s 2026 class.
Stick around as we will have more soon for our TexAgs Premium subscribers.

Threw for 4,145 yards and 34 touchdowns as a sophomore while completing nearly 65% of his passes. Natural thrower, strong mechanically with a quick release. Can get the ball down the field on a rope and is very good extending plays and making something happen when the pocket breaks down. Has excellent pocket mobility, can make defenders miss and doesn't panic when pressured. Keeps eyes down the field. -247

I have seen 5'10" to 6'1", thinking closer to the former.
Looks like a great athlete and a dual threat like Klein likes

In six games as a junior, he's again hit on 65 percent of his throws for 1,617 yards and 18 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions.
"Coach Klein has been in my shoes," Casuga said. "He was a great quarterback when he played. I think he gets it and understands what a college quarterback is doing and going through. I feel I can relate to him. They're a great coaching staff, and they feel like family."
