On3 rates Bussey higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2024 On300, he is the No. 16 overall prospect, No. 1 athlete and No. 3 player in Texas.

“They’ve got a really good program over there,” Bussey told Billy Embody of The Bengal Tiger about Oklahoma on May 19. “They’ve been at the top for a minute now. Their offense is really dynamic with what coach (Jeff) Lebby is doing. He’s a great coach. Everything he does is elite of elite. He’s great over there. I’ve talked to (Emmett Jones) a little bit. He seems like a great coach. I can’t wait to meet him.”
Bussey also shared with Embody that he is in no rush to announce his commitment.

“I don’t have a specific timeline,” Bussey said. “I’m looking to commit in season or late season, something like that. Relationships will probably play a huge factor in where I go. Overall, it’s the place and if it’s somewhere I feel I can live or be there for a long period of time. That’ll be a huge factor. There are no favorites just yet. There are a couple gameday atmospheres I’ve thought about seeing.”
