Texas A&M’s lone unsigned commit in the 2024 recruiting cycle outside of recent OL Duke flip Robert Bourdon, 5-star athlete Terry Bussey has been committed to the program since last September, forgoing early signing day in late Dec. to gauge his options further.
Last week, it was reported by On3’s Sam Spiegelman that Bussey had planned several last-minute visits to Georgia on Friday, Jan. 26, LSU on Wednesday, Jan. 31, and, coming this Friday, a final visit to Texas A&M on Friday, Feb. 2.
With both visits to Georgia and LSU complete, Spiegelman has revealed that Bussey is reportedly down to just two programs: Texas A&M and the rival LSU Tigers.
Texas A&M has already lost several former 2024 commits to the Tigers since the end of last year, some due to the firing of head coach Jimbo Fisher and the hiring of new head coach Mike Elko just a week later. While Bussey has developed a close relationship with Elko and his staff, nothing is set in stone, as he recently noted in an interview with On3:
“I’ve been getting to know the new staff,” Bussey told On3 earlier this month. “It’s been great building a relationship with coach Elko, coach (Ishmael Aristide) and I’m building relationships with other coaches they already have on staff. They’re great guys, great people, they know a lot about football and they’re great football-minded people.”
According to On3, Bussey is currently positioned as the 30th-ranked player in the 2024 class, the No. 1-ranked athlete, and the 8th-ranked player in Texas.
