Colin Bussey brings a big-frame, developmental EDGE profile to Charlotte
Colin Bussey, a 2026 Charlotte commit from New Manchester (Douglasville, Ga.), profiles as a sturdy, 6-foot-3, 250-pound EDGE/DL with room to grow into a disruptive college defender; recruiting services list him as a three-star prospect with ratings around the mid-.86 to .87 range and national positioning in the 1000-ish range, which points to a solid developmental upside rather than instant superstar hype.[1][3][4][8] The appeal is his size, length, and college-ready body type for the position, plus the fact that Charlotte landed him over other FBS interest, but the care factor is mostly about whether his hands, first step, and pass-rush polish catch up to that frame once he gets on campus.[1][11][15]
