North Texas graduate transfer WR Rico Bussey is a name to know for Texas

[Jonnyeagle]

The Texas Longhorns were recently linked to Michigan Wolverines graduate transfer wide receiver Tarik Black, but on Friday, a more compelling potential target emerged — North Texas Mean Green graduate transfer wide receiver Rico Bussey, whose departure from Denton was reported by Max Olson of The Athletic.

Generally speaking, appealing graduate transfers fall into two primary categories — players like Black at Power Five schools who dealt with injuries or high-producing players from smaller schools who were underrecruited coming out of high school. In 2018, former Cal running back Tre Watson fit the former category for Texas and former Rice offensive tackle Calvin Anderson fit the latter category, though he does have one key similarity to Watson.

Clearly, Bussey fits into the latter category. A consensus two-star prospect out of Lawton, Oklahoma in the 2016 class, Bussey was a productive receiver and runner with more than 2,000 all-purpose yards as a senior, but didn’t attract much recruiting attention — his offers included Arkansas State, Louisiana, Louisiana-Monroe, Wyoming, and the service academies.
