DRAPER, Utah— Corner Canyon junior quarterback Helaman Casuga, one of the most sought-after quarterback recruits in the 2026 class, announced his commitment to the Texas A&M Aggies after narrowing his list to USC, Washington, and the Aggies in late September.
Casuga posted a video to YouTube on Thursday, October 17, announcing his intention to join Texas A&M.
“With much prayer and consideration, I’ll be committing to the University of Texas A&M,” Casuga said in the video.

Casuga will join an Aggie program with nine quarterbacks currently listed on its depth chart. Seven of the nine QBs on the roster are underclassmen (freshman or sophomore), meaning there is no guarantee Casuga will play early in his college career. No. 14 Texas A&M is 5-1 this season and 3-0 in SEC play with wins over Florida, Arkansas, and then-No. 9 Missouri.
