2026 4-star Texas A&M commit ranked as a Top 10 committed quarterback per On3
2026 4-star Texas A&M commit ranked as a Top 10 committed quarterback per On3
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class is looking more impressive by the day, as last Saturday's Maroon & White spring game produced the program's 11th commitment in the cycle after flipping four-star cornerback Victor Singelton from Illinois, who is now the highest-rated prospect in the Aggies' cycle. Still, Texas A&M's lone quarterback commit looks like a star in the making.
When scouting high school quarterbacks in today's landscape, accuracy, arm strength, and the ability to "make plays out of structure" have resulted in smaller signal callers earning higher recruiting rankings compared to the usual 6'3" to 6'5" standards during the early to mid-2000s.
2026 four-star quarterback Helaman Casuga, who committed to the Aggies on Oct. 17 of last year, possesses all the traits to become a productive starter in the SEC, and a personal pick for Texas A&M OC Collin Klein to run the offense in the coming years. Among the rest of the 2026 quarterbacks who are committed to a program, here is where Casuga ranks according to On3's 2026 rankings.
2026 four-star QB Faizon Brandon — committed to Tennessee 2026 four-star QB Keisean Henderson — committed to Houston 2026 four-star QB Dia Bell — committed to Texas 2026 four-star QB Jonas Williams — committed to USC 2026 four-star QB Brady Smigiel — committed to Michigan 2026 four-star QB Jake Fette — committed to Arizona State 2026 four-star QB Jaden O'Neil — committed to Oklahoma 2026 four-star QB Noah Grubbs — committed to Notre Dame 2026 four-star QB Dereon Colman — committed to Miami 2026 four-star QB Helaman Casuga — committed to Texas A&M
Helaman Casuga stands 6'1" and 200 pounds, and during his 2022 and 2023 seasons, the Provo, Utah native threw for 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns. According to On3, Casuga is currently positioned as the 215th-ranked prospect, 15th-ranked quarterback, and the 4th-ranked prospect in Utah.

Former Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert responds to being reunited with Justin Fields
Former Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert responds to being reunited with Justin Fields Former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields seems to have found himself a new opportunity to seize a major role in the NFL with the New York Jets after signing a two-year deal with the club. A byproduct of that is that he gets a chance to reconnect with a couple of other former Buckeyes that he played with in Columbus. We've already heard from receiver Garrett Wilson on his excitement to play with the former Heisman Finalist and first-round NFL draft pick, but the electric receiver isn't the only former OSU player donning a Jets uniform. Former tight end Jeremy Ruckert, who played for Ohio State from 2018 to 2021, got to block for and catch passes from Fields on the banks of the Olentangy for two years. So yeah, he too has some history with the guy the Jets' brass hopes turns around the fortunes of the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Ruckert was asked by the New York media what it means to be playing with his college teammate again, and was excited more for the team than himself. "Any time you get a chance to reconnect with one of your teammates, whether it's in the League or college, it's great,: Ruckert told reporters. "I'm excited where we're going as a team and the culture we're setting, and I think he's (Fields) perfect for that role, and just these last couple of weeks to get back on the same page and get our timing right with all the guys. It's been special to be a part of that, but also kind of get the other guys rolling and continue to grow as a unit." If you are an Ohio State fan, there aren't too many storylines that jump out more than what Fields does in New York. If he can use his athletic gifts the right way and still find a way to stay poised and present in the pocket, we could see a budding star coming to light just a little later than we thought.

Projected $758K Star Recruit Spurns Oklahoma After Teasing Commitment Decision
Projected $758K Star Recruit Spurns Oklahoma After Teasing Commitment Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Class of 2026 five-star offensive tackle and Oklahoma target Felix Ojo is nearing a decision amid a busy official visit schedule. Advertisement Ojo (6-foot-7, 275 pounds) plays for Lake Ridge High School in Mansfield, Texas. He is rated as the No. 3 offensive tackle, the No. 1 player in the state, and the No. 6 overall recruit (On3 industry). Ojo, who holds an On3 NIL valuation of $758,000, announced in February his top eight schools: Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame. Ojo loaded his summer with visits, also including trips outside of his top schools. Notre Dame unofficially hosted Ojo on April 10 before he took official trips to Ole Miss (April 18), Texas Tech (April 25), Colorado (May 2), Florida (May 16) and Ohio State (May 30). Advertisement Additionally, Michigan received an official visit on June 6 with Texas (June 13) and Oklahoma (June 20) slated to cap off Ojo's summer schedule. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables talks with Texas coach Steve Sarkisian before the Red River Rivalry© BRYAN TERRY/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images However, head coach Brent Venables and the Sooners are no longer expected to host Ojo after a key announcement on Monday. The Oklahoma visit has been cancelled, as Ojo revealed that his decision is approaching sooner than previously expected. 'Not needed," Ojo said via On3's Hayes Fawcett. "Nearing my decision a lot sooner than later." It's unclear if Ojo's decision has closed the door for Oklahoma in his recruitment, but the Sooners would have likely benefited from getting the highly coveted recruit on campus. Advertisement Texas stands, for now, as the last program to get an official visit from Ojo this summer. Head coach Steve Sarkisian's Longhorns signed the nation's top class in the 2025 cycle and have been linked to the in-state recruit for some time. Ojo previously named the SEC powerhouse as his leader in May, and he is projected to ultimately land at Texas, according to recruiting experts from On3, 247Sports and Rivals.

UNC wide receiver speaks on staying in Chapel Hill with Bill Belichick arrival
UNC wide receiver speaks on staying in Chapel Hill with Bill Belichick arrival Will Jordan Shipp become one of Bill Belichick's top offensive producers this fall? The transfer portal dictates how college football rosters are shaped today, with UNC being a prime example heading into its 2025 season. North Carolina replaced its entire starting defensive line through the portal, headlined by names like Pryce Yates and CJ Mims. The Tar Heels also snagged several offensive linemen in the portal, likely starting quarterback Gio Lopez, a pair of star linebackers and top-ranked cornerback Thaddeus Dixon. Add in coaching changes – and roster loyalty dwindles even further. UNC hired 8-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick to be its head coach in December, hoping to bring a consistent winning culture to Chapel Hill. Expected 2025 starters for North Carolina transferred out of Chapel Hill, but several guys stayed. One key player who decided to stay a Tar Heels is sophomore wide receiver Jordan Shipp, who caught nine passes for 114 yards and a touchdown in 2024. Shipp recently spoke on his decision to stay. "It's hard to transfer from a school that you love so much," Shipp told the media. "I've had a lot of friends that came here, a lot of friends that have been successful here – and it's also hard to leave the greatest coach of all time. Knowing you have one of the greatest coaches of all time coming here, it wouldn't have been smart for me to leave.' With no J.J. Jones or Nate McCollum, expect to see Shipp earn starting minutes in 2025. Joining Shipp in the wideout room are Michigan State transfer Aziah Johnson, Colorado transfer Adrian Wilson and Washington transfer Jason Robinson Jr., while the likes of Javarius Green, Chris Culliver and Paul Billups are 2024 holdovers.
