Freshman phenom Terry Bussey was one of the biggest gets for the Texas A&M Aggies this offseason, and according to head coach Mike Elko, he will play a big role from Day 1.

Mr. Texas. And so getting him down to College Station was huge. Obviously he's a tremendous athlete," Aggies head coach Mike Elko said at SEC Media Days on Thursday.
But it was in 2023 that he truly exploded onto the scene, being named Mr. Football for the state of Texas by Dave Campbell's Texas Football. He then capped off his career by leading his school to a state title as a senior, scoring 47 total touchdowns for the season despite missing a good portion of it due to injury.That said, there are still a number of questions surrounding Bussey. Most notably, where and when he will make his debut on the roster.
But it appears that Elko is narrowing in on a decision, and Bussey will start out on the defensive side of the ball, as well as in the return game. "I think he's going to start on defense," Elko said. "But I do think everyone is aware that he has the flexibility to help us in a lot of ways. His ability in the return game is something we want to look to take advantage of. We certainly see him developing and playing a critical role for us, not only this year but in the years to come.
