Four-star quaterback Helaman Casuga places Auburn among top schools

2026 four-star signal caller Helaman Casuga narrowed his list of top schools down to 8 on Monday. In a post on Twitter/X, Casuga thanked his family and coaches while sharing a graphic listing Auburn, Nebraska, Washington, Arizona, Texas A&M, Utah, BYU, and USC. The Provo, UT native also announced he would be giving out his top 3 choices later this year on his Instagram.

The 6-1, 200-pound quarterback is currently projected to commit to Texas A&M by many experts. However, the dual-threat quarterback prospect was on the Plains for a visit as recently as June, giving Hugh Freeze and his staff the chance to have one of the more recent impressions of Casuga’s brain. He must have enjoyed his time enough to consider the Tigers for his commitment.

Casuga is coming off a remarkable season for Timpview in Utah in which he accumulated more than 4,000 passing yards and 34 passing touchdowns. His 4,145 passing yards were good enough for the third most in Utah, and the 23rd most nationally. Now playing football for Corner Canyon High School, Casuga has a chance to take off and improve on an already great high school career.

While the No. 4 prospect in Utah is not likely to announce his commitment anytime soon, we’ll see if Auburn can cut into his top three later this fall. If Hugh Freeze were to capture his commitment it would add another piece to the best 2026 class in the country.
