The Georgia Bulldogs have added another stellar recruit to their ranks with the commitment of 2025 defensive lineman Justus Terry. The 6’5”, 270-pound prospect out of Manchester High School in Georgia is one of the top-rated players in his class and brings a combination of size, strength, and athleticism that makes him a force on the defensive front.
Terry’s commitment further solidifies Georgia’s status as one of the premier recruiting programs in the nation. Under head coach Kirby Smart, the Bulldogs have consistently attracted elite talent, and Terry fits the mold of the physically dominant linemen who have thrived in Athens. Known for his explosiveness off the line of scrimmage, Terry is not only a run-stopper but also a disruptive pass-rusher, showcasing versatility that defensive coordinators dream of.
Ranked as a four-star prospect by most recruiting services, Terry has drawn comparisons to former Bulldogs’ standouts who have gone on to success in the NFL. His ability to shed blockers, read plays, and chase down quarterbacks makes him a nightmare for opposing offenses. Terry’s performance in high school has garnered national attention, and his highlight reels display his uncanny ability to dominate at the point of attack.
The decision to commit to Georgia seemed natural for Terry, who has spoken highly of the program’s culture, coaching staff, and development pipeline. “Georgia felt like home,” Terry said in a statement. “The coaches believe in me, and I trust them to help me reach my full potential on and off the field. I’m ready to be a part of something special.”
Terry’s commitment continues Georgia’s tradition of bolstering its defensive line, a key component of their recent dominance in college football. With multiple national championships in recent years, the Bulldogs have established themselves as a powerhouse, and recruits like Terry ensure their sustained success.
The addition of Terry also highlights Georgia’s focus on locking down in-state talent. Keeping a player of his caliber close to home is a significant win for the Bulldogs, especially given the competition from other top programs vying for his commitment.
As Terry prepares for his senior season in high school, Georgia fans can look forward to seeing another elite prospect join the ranks in Athens. With his talent and work ethic, Terry is poised to make an immediate impact and add to the Bulldogs’ legacy of excellence.
