Micah Bussey '28 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been playing basketball since I was 5 years old. My mom was the first coach I ever had. I knew early on this was a game I would love, and this passion has led to my desire to play at a more competitive level. 

I play with high energy and fundamental skill execution. My precise footwork helps apply pressure on defense. I can read a pass to pick it off or quickly move to help side coverage and crash the board for rebounds. My best skill on offense is playmaking. While I love to score, I am a team player. I keep my eyes open for the best opportunities whether it’s taking advantage of an opening or finding a teammate who is in a better position to score. 

When I am not on the court, I enjoy playing flag football for my school, working out, and volunteering at my church and in my community.  I also spend time focused on my academics. I earn good grades and am a member of the National Junior Honors Society. My dream is to be a physical therapist and play collegiate basketball while working toward this degree. My ultimate goal is to help athletes with their recovery. 

I desire to attend a college or university that will challenge me academically as well as on the court. I am looking forward to finding the right match and growing as a player and individual.
