5-star defensive lineman flips commitment from Georgia

Terry is listed at 6’5 and 275 pounds and is a native of Manchester, Georgia.

Terry recorded 78 tackles and 13 sacks in the 2023 high school season. He presents a major addition for a Trojans team that is seeking to change the defensive culture around the program under third year head coach Lincoln Riley.
