Next summer, the 2026 recruiting cycle will begin to take shape, but things are already in motion for Texas A&M under head coach Mike Elko and his coaching staff after landing two premier 2026 prospects over the last two days.
On Thursday, one of the top signal callers in the 2026 class, 4-star quarterback Helaman Casuga out of Draper, Utah, chose the Aggies over his hometown Utah Utes and USC after developing a close relationship with first-year offensive coordinator Collin Klein, who has quickly become a respected play caller amid his first season with the program.
On Friday, 2026 4-star defensive lineman Trashawn Ruffin announced his commitment to Texas A&M over LSU, Ohio State, and many other blue-blood programs, as the future nose tackle has a path to the NFL if he continues to develop at the next level. Credit goes to Texas A&M DL coaches Sean Spencer and Tony Jerod-Eddie, who have continued to help the program land future playmakers in the defensive trenches
After both commitments, Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is now ranked 9th in the 247Sports team rankings:
