Following the dramatic firing of Head Coach Jimbo Fisher, the Texas A&M football staff have worked hard to retain their top recruits.
Among the top recruits has been one man in particular the staff has worked hard to keep due to his current top-ten recruiting ranking. Athlete Terry Bussey has signed and confirmed his commitment to the Texas A&M football program after spending plenty of time deliberating his decision. Bussey is the highest-rated Aggies recruit in the 2024 class and brings their final 2024 ranking up to 16th in the country.
Texas A&M Football Maintains Hold of Fascinating Top-Ten National Recruit Terry Bussey
Often, firing a pivotal Head Coach such as Jimbo Fisher could be the death sentence for a program, especially in this day and age. Players and coaches have more freedom to move around than ever, and once Fisher was fired the exodus began to take shape. Multiple transfers left the program and a handful of recruits announced they would re-open their recruitment to other colleges.
Many analysts and recruiting experts believed that among the departures could potentially be five-star plus athlete Terry Bussey. Bussey is currently ranked as the tenth overall recruit in the country and the third overall recruit in the state of Texas. The athlete is a native of Timpson, just two and a half hours away from College Station.
Bussey had always considered staying in-state to continue to be close to his family. Despite the firing of Fisher and the hiring of Head Coach Mike Elko, Bussey decided to stay with the Aggies.
Can Bussey Transform the Aggies Football Offense in Year One?
This past season, the talented recruit Bussey got his chance to truly shine and prove why he is a five-star recruit. The athlete played quarterback and corner back for his High School, but could find himself playing wide receiver at times in college due to his speed. Coming in at 6-feet, 170-pounds, the elusive quarterback recorded 1785 yards through the air along with 24 touchdowns.
On the ground, Bussey recorded 1165 yards and 17 touchdowns, including a 99-yard breakaway touchdown. Bussey also added five 100+ yard rushing performances to his season statistics, which further proves his dynamic rushing ability. There is no doubt Bussey will make an impact for the Texas A&M football team next season, but the real question is where the recruit will play since there are nearly four different positions Bussey can play.
A Look Ahead: Can the Aggies Bounce Back Next Season After Struggling in 2023?
The Texas A&M football team went 7-6 this past season, dropping their bowl game and finishing with a 4-4 record in the SEC. Now, the Aggies are hoping to improve next season as they have added plenty of talent into the program. While Terry Bussey and Dealyn Evans highlight the 2024 recruiting class, the transfer portal was also very beneficial for the Aggies.
Alabama corner back Dezz Ricks, Washington tight end Tre Watson, and Bowling Green edge rusher Cashius Howell highlighted the transfer class for the Texas A&M football program. With quite the influx of talent, Texas A&M football could make a huge turnaround in 2024.
