The SEC has another huge week of games this weekend with multiple top-12 matchups set to take place.

Although Mississippi State isn't having a memorable year by any means, the Bulldogs play host to a top-15 Texas A&M team on Saturday. On Thursday, Texas A&M received good news on the recruiting front as it landed a commitment from four-star quarterback Helaman Casuga in the 2026 class.

Per On3, Casuga ranks as the nation's 14th best quarterback in the 2026 class.

Casuga made the announcement on Thursday, choosing Texas A&M over the likes of Washington and USC.
