The Vols’ 2015 recruiting class is back down to 28 members, as 2015 three-star running back Kendall Bussey flipped to Texas A&M on Monday afternoon.

Bussey committed to Tennessee on December 19, but the Aggies made up some serious ground after hosting Bussey on an official visit near the end of January.
The Vols hosted Bussey this past weekend, but it wasn’t enough to hold on to the talented running back.
Bussey likely didn’t fancy the thought of being buried beneath Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara on the Vols’ depth chart.
The New Orleans native also would’ve had to battle fellow 2015 running back John Kelly for playing time.
Bussey is a very talented player and it’s certainly a big loss for the Vols, but fortunately they’ve got a couple of studs in Hurd and Kamara.
