Texas A&M Aggies freshman Terry Bussey is dealing with an injury ahead of the matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
The Texas A&M Aggies have published their first student-athlete availability report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville.
There hasn’t been much change regarding injuries for the Aggies during the bye week, but one significant name emerged in Wednesday’s report. Five-star freshman receiver Terry Bussey is currently listed as questionable due to an undisclosed injury, making his status a key point of interest as kickoff approaches.
Third-string quarterback Jaylen Henderson, who hasn’t attempted a pass this season, is labeled as doubtful.
Here’s the complete report for both Texas A&M and Mississippi State:
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko recently emphasized the importance of Bussey to the team this season.
“We need him,” Elko stated. “He’s improving every day and becoming a technically sound player. He came in as a talented athlete and is growing more skilled with each game. He recognizes this, and that’s his motivation and commitment. We’re finding various ways to get him the ball. The more comfortable he becomes with our strategies, the easier it will be for him to make an impact. We’ll definitely rely on him as the season progresses.”
In his first five games, Bussey ranks fourth among Texas A&M receivers with 86 receiving yards. He also plays a key role as the lead returner for kickoffs and punts, and he has carried the ball six times for 79 yards this season. His average of 13.2 yards per carry is the highest on the team, although this figure is somewhat inflated due to fewer rushing attempts compared to players like Le’Veon Moss and Amari Daniels.
