A Game-Changing Talent
Terry, a versatile athlete standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 200 pounds, has been one of the most dynamic playmakers in the 2025 class. He has showcased his abilities on both sides of the ball, excelling as a wide receiver, defensive back, and even taking snaps at running back. His elite speed, agility, and football IQ make him a perfect fit for Texas’ system, where head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff will look to maximize his potential.
Ranked as the No. 3 athlete in the country and the No. 12 overall prospect per 247Sports Composite, Terry’s decision gives Texas a blue-chip recruit capable of making an instant impact. His skill set allows the Longhorns to deploy him in multiple roles, providing versatility and depth in key positions.
Why Texas?
Terry cited Texas’ coaching staff, player development, and the opportunity to be a part of a rising program as key factors in his decision. “From the moment I stepped on campus, I felt at home,” Terry said. “Coach Sarkisian and the staff believe in me, and I believe in what they’re building. Texas is the place where I can reach my full potential.”
The Longhorns’ recent success in recruiting and their transition to the SEC have made them a more attractive destination for top-tier talent. With Terry on board, Texas continues to build a class that could compete with the nation’s best.
Impact on Texas’ 2025 Class
Terry’s commitment pushes Texas’ 2025 recruiting class into the top five nationally. He joins a strong group of recruits, including elite quarterback prospect Jaden Williams and five-star offensive lineman Brandon Hughes. His ability to contribute in multiple roles gives the Longhorns added flexibility as they prepare for the competitive landscape of the SEC.
Looking Ahead
With Terry now committed, Texas will turn its focus toward closing out the 2025 cycle with additional elite talent. Longhorns fans have reason to be excited as the program continues its upward trajectory. If Terry’s high school performances are any indication, he could be a game-changer for Texas football in the coming years.
