Reliable Hokies safety whose value starts on special teams
Bussel’s current profile at Virginia Tech is more about trust and toughness than eye-popping stat lines: in 2023 he played in all 13 games on special teams and made two tackles, showing he can stay available and contribute in a defined role. At 6-1 and 222 pounds, he brings a sturdy safety frame, and his biggest differentiator is dependable depth value for a staff that needs physical, assignment-sound players who embrace special teams. He looks like a fit if you want a low-drama, high-effort defender who can help the room and the kicking game immediately.
