Texas A&M’s recruiting success under first-year head coach Mike Elko continued on Thursday, as one of the top signal callers in the 2026 recruiting class, 4-star quarterback Helaman Casuga has committed to the Aggies, giving OC Collin Klein his second QB commit after landing 2025 5-star Husan Longstreet.
So far this season, Texas A&M’s 5-1 record and 3-0 start in SEC play has excited numerous recruits in the 2025 and 2026 cycles, including Casuga, who chose the Aggies over hometown Utah and USC, feeling that A&M’s offensive system under Klein’s playcalling is the best first for his skillset.
After his most recent Texas A&M visit, Casuga became a fan of a program on the rise. He recently spoke with 247Sports’ Blair Angulo about what the Aggies offer under Mike Elko’s guidance.
“Offensive coordinator Colin Klein was a Heisman finalist and he’s a dawg. I feel like I can learn a lot from him and coach Mike Elko. They are a giant monster waiting to be awakened.”
Casuga threw over 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns in his last two seasons, including 4,145 yards and 34 touchdowns during his 2023 sophomore season.
According to 247Sports, Casuga is currently positioned as the 178th-ranked prospect, the 13th-ranked quarterback prospect, and the 4th-ranked prospect in Utah.
