Auburn football will host Texas A&M on Saturday for what will be a critical game for a postseason bid. It will also be a crucial weekend for recruiting as one of the nation’s top defensive linemen will be on campus to take his official visit.
[autotag]Justus Terry[/autotag], a five-star defensive lineman from Manchester, Georgia, will take his official visit to Auburn as the beginning of the early signing period inches closer.
Terry’s recruitment has been a whirlwind to this point. He committed to his home state program, Georgia, in January 2023 before backing off in favor of flipping to USC in March. However, his commitment to the Trojans lasted three months as he announced his de-commitment from Lincoln Riley’s program on June 19.
Since then, Terry has officially visited Texas and Alabama according to 247Sports, with Auburn next on his docket. Before de-committing from USC, Terry took official visits to Florida State and Georgia.
Auburn wants to add to its impressive defensive line haul for 2025. The Tigers have already landed the commitments of four-star linemen [autotag]Nathaniel Marshall[/autotag], [autotag]Malik Autry[/autotag], [autotag]Antonio Coleman[/autotag], and [autotag]Jourdin Crawford[/autotag], and landing Terry would be the icing on the cake.
However, Auburn coaches must put on a near-perfect performance to sway Terry to the Plains. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Georgia a 95.8% chance to win back Terry’s commitment, while five 247Sports writers have logged “crystal ball predictions” for Georgia to land Terry.
Terry is a 6-4 275-pound defensive lineman who has earned five-star status from every major recruiting outlet. He is the nation’s No. 2 defensive lineman and ranks as high as the No. 2 overall recruit from Georgia for the 2025 cycle according to Rivals and 247Sports.
