Four-star QB Helaman Casuga sets commitment date, Auburn among choices

One of Auburn’s top 2026 targets will choose between Auburn and seven other programs next month.

One of Auburn’s top targets from the 2026 class is ready to announce his commitment.

[autotag]Helaman Casuga[/autotag], a four-star quarterback from Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, tells Blair Angulo of 247Sports that he will announce his commitment on the official 247Sports YouTube channel on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 8:30 p.m. CT. Auburn is among the programs in the running to land Casuga along with Arizona, BYU, Nebraska, Texas A&M, USC, Utah, and Washington.

Ahead of his commitment announcement, Casuga highlighted why Auburn is a part of his top eight.

“My summer visit at Auburn was incredible,” Casuga said in an interview with 247Sports. “Coach Hugh Freeze welcomed my family and I with open arms and stays in touch with us weekly.”

Heluga’s 11th-grade season is off to a hot start as he has passed for 1,607 yards and 18 touchdowns through five games. Heluga passed for 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns heading into the 2024 season with 374 rushing yards.

Texas A&M is the favorite according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 97.0% forecast. However, he has not received a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports recruiting experts. Heluga would be a welcomed addition to Auburn’s 2026 class that ranks No. 2 and includes three of the nation’s top 125 recruits.

Will Casuga be Auburn’s second offensive commitment of the 2026 cycle?
