Buggs was the nation’s #1 Junior College defensive end. He is expected to be an integral part of next season’s playing rotation.

Buggs was heavily recruited by LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Mississippi Sate and other top programs.

Buggs is very athletic. Basketball was his primary sport until midway through high school. Buggs combines speed and strength and can stuff runs as well as rush QB’s.

Isaiah Buggs will still have to earn his football playing time. No amount of charming Miss Terry will promote him to Alabama’s regular defensive rotation.

The Alabama trainers might want to be especially careful taping Bugg’s talented fingers. After all, keeping Miss Terry is important to us all.
