The Texas Longhorns have landed a huge addition to their 2025 recruiting class, securing the commitment of elite 5-star defensive tackle Justus Terry. Terry, one of the top-ranked players in the nation, chose Texas over Mississippi State and UTSA, marking a significant recruiting win for head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff.
A Dominant Force in the Trenches
Justus Terry, known for his blend of size, strength, and agility, has been a standout on the national recruiting scene. At 6’5” and over 300 pounds, he possesses the physical attributes and disruptive playmaking ability that make him one of the most coveted defensive linemen in the country. His dominance at the point of attack has made him a force to be reckoned with, drawing comparisons to some of the NFL’s top interior defensive linemen.
Terry’s decision to commit to Texas is seen as a game-changer for the Longhorns’ defensive future, as he will help anchor their line for years to come.
Sarkisian’s Recruiting Momentum Continues
With the addition of Terry, Sarkisian continues to build a formidable recruiting class as Texas prepares for its move to the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Longhorns’ ability to attract top-tier talent like Terry is a reflection of the program’s growing national stature and their potential to compete with the elite programs in the country.
A Tough Decision
While Terry had strong connections with Mississippi State and UTSA, the combination of Texas’ facilities, coaching staff, and its move to the SEC played a major role in his decision. The opportunity to play at one of the most storied programs in college football, combined with the chance to compete against the best teams in the SEC, proved to be too enticing for Terry to pass up.
Texas’ Defensive Line of the Future
With Terry now in the fold, Texas continues to stockpile elite talent on the defensive side of the ball. His commitment solidifies the Longhorns’ defensive line for the future and adds to what is shaping up to be a top-tier recruiting class. Texas fans can look forward to seeing Terry wreak havoc on opposing offenses as they gear up for a bright future in the SEC.
The Longhorns’ latest recruiting victory shows they are not only focusing on a return to national prominence but also positioning themselves as a dominant force in the new era of Texas football.
