As we gear up for the 2025 football season, Aggies Wire is breaking down every player on the Texas A&M roster. Throughout the preseason, each profile will highlight a player’s background, their recruiting rankings upon graduating from high school, and their projected role under head coach Mike Elko.
Terry Bussey entered the 2024 season surrounded by hype—hype that new head coach Mike Elko rightfully tried to temper at every opportunity when asked about the true freshman’s role. Fans speculated wildly: some wanted him on offense, others on defense, and a few believed he could play both sides of the ball. Ultimately, he landed on offense and special teams.
His freshman season was hard to evaluate for several reasons. He arrived later than most of his class, didn’t have a set position until later in the year, and had to navigate a new coaching staff establishing a new culture. Despite a low usage rate, Bussey showed flashes of potential, though it was a modest start to his career. In total, he recorded 49 touches for 572 yards and two touchdowns.

The former five-star prospect was one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation. When Jimbo Fisher was fired during the 2023 season, several programs made a push, but Bussey stayed firm in his commitment and chose to remain with Coach Elko. In high school, he was a three-time Class 2A MVP and earned Mr. Texas Football honors from Dave Campbell’s Texas Football in 2022. Despite missing several games during his senior season, he led Timpson High School to its first-ever state championship.
