After 2024 5-Star ATH Terry Bussey’s signing, here are Texas A&M’s Top 10 All-Time commits
Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is now complete, as head coach Mike Elko finished things out during Wednesday’s National Signing Day, headlined by the signing of long-time commit, 5-star athlete Terry Bussey, followed by 3-star offensive tackle Robert Bourdon and 4-star wide receiver Ashton Belton-Roman.
Finishing with the now 16th-ranked recruiting class according to 247Sports, Elko has already proven this recruiting prowess after two solid seasons as Duke’s head coach and his four seasons as A&M’s defensive coordinator under Jimbo Fisher have aided in his success in developing lasting relationships.
Terry Bussey’s signing is by far one of the program’s most significant recruiting victories for any head coach, as the No. 1-ranked athlete in the class has a chance to have a Travis Hunter-like collegiate career as Elko recently stated that he will start out as a cornerback, but receive snaps on offense throughout his Aggie career.
“For us, he’s going to come in at corner, but he’ll certainly have a role with the ball in his hand in the return game and as a specialist in some situations.”
So, where does Bussey stand among Texas A&M’s All-Time high school commitments? Here are the Top 10 prospects to sign with Texas A&M over the last two decades, per 247Sports.
