Alabama football has made a significant move in its 2025 recruiting class by securing a commitment from five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry. Terry, a 6-foot-5, 275-pound prospect from Manchester, Georgia, had previously committed to USC but decommitted in June 2024, reopening his recruitment. Following his decommitment, Terry took official visits to Georgia, Florida State, and Alabama. He was originally scheduled to visit USC again but instead chose to visit Tuscaloosa, indicating a shift in his recruitment.
Terry’s decision to commit to Alabama adds a top-tier talent to the Crimson Tide’s defensive line. He is ranked as the No. 7 overall prospect and the No. 2 defensive lineman in the 2025 class by On3’s Industry Ranking. His combination of size, quickness, and ability to shed blockers makes him a formidable presence on the field.
This commitment is a significant boost for Alabama’s recruiting efforts, especially considering the recent decommitments from USC, including Terry’s. The Crimson Tide’s ability to secure Terry’s commitment demonstrates their strong recruiting efforts and the appeal of their football program.
With Terry’s commitment, Alabama continues to build a formidable recruiting class, adding to the momentum of their successful recruiting cycle.
