LSU Football: Tigers Set To Host No. 1 ATH in America Terry Bussey
The LSU football staff has been working overtime on the recruiting trail as they look ahead towards the future of the program in Baton Rouge.
After securing 27 signees in the 2024 class, there is one final name on their radar with National Signing Day approaching in February: Terry Bussey.
Bussey, the No. 1 athlete in America, will take a visit to Death Valley on Wednesday for his final trip down South before he finalizes his college plans.
The five-star prospect has taken a visit to Athens for a visit with the Georgia Bulldogs and will now make a trip to Baton Rouge one last time.
Following his Wednesday visit, Bussey will then head back to College Station for a trip back to Texas A&M, where he has been committed to since September.
Despite remaining pledged to the Aggies, Bussey has kept his options open as the Tigers surge in his recruitment.
Now, LSU will get one final crack at the elite-level athlete before he puts pen to paper next week.
Bussey has been on LSU's campus twice over the last few months with Wednesday marking his third trip to Baton Rouge since September.
Brian Kelly and Co. now have the chance to roll out the red carpet for their final visit with the top player remaining on their 2024 Big Board.
Speaking with those familiar with the situation, LSU's "sell" to Bussey is his ability to be a Swiss Army Knife for this program and make his presence felt in all three phases of the game.
A player that can impact the game in a myriad of ways, his bread and butter will be as a safety/defensive back at the next level, but reps at wide receiver or as a return specialist aren't out of the equation either.
For the Tigers, to secure a player of Bussey's caliber would be the cherry on top to a dynamic 2024 cycle.
LSU has already signed three five-star prospects in Trey'Dez Green, Dominick McKinley and Weston Davis. Per On3's Recruiting Rankings, the Tigers have the No. 3 class in the 2024 cycle.
Now, all attention shifts to Bussey, where it will be an uphill climb to flip him from Texas A&M, but Kelly's staff will certainly continue working overtime until the coveted prospect puts pen to paper next week.
Bussey will arrive in Baton Rouge on Tuesday night before he begins his visit on Wednesday to take in the scenes of Death Valley.
Kelly, Corey Raymond and the LSU recruiting staff, led by Sherman Wilson, will put their foot on the gas during the midweek visit.
