The Auburn Tigers are making a significant push to strengthen their 2025 recruiting class, targeting five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry. Hailing from Manchester High School in Georgia, Terry is highly regarded as the seventh-overall recruit and the second-best defensive lineman according to ESPN. His recruitment remains highly contested among top programs, but Auburn has secured an official visit from him during their matchup against Texas A&M on November 23, as reported by On3.
Terry is no stranger to Auburn, having visited the campus multiple times before. This familiarity could play a pivotal role in his decision-making process.
While many analysts believe Georgia is the frontrunner for his commitment, Auburn’s electric game-day atmosphere might give the Tigers an edge. The coaching staff and fan support on the Plains could leave a lasting impression on the talented recruit.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 275 pounds, Terry is a remarkable athlete with a rare blend of power and explosiveness. Beyond his physical attributes, he embodies a team-first mentality, a relentless work ethic in the weight room, and natural leadership qualities. His impressive HUDL highlights and performances at Under Armour Camps have cemented his reputation as a top-tier prospect coveted by college programs nationwide.
Unsurprisingly, powerhouse programs such as Georgia, Alabama, LSU, and Southern California are vying for his signature. Auburn faces stiff competition but has ample motivation to make a strong case. Adding Terry to their roster would significantly bolster the Tigers’ defensive line and elevate their 2025 recruiting class into elite territory.
As Auburn prepares to host Terry, the coaching staff hopes to make a compelling pitch to sway him away from other suitors. Should he ultimately choose the Tigers, it could propel them into the top five of the recruiting rankings by National Signing Day. Auburn fans and coaches alike eagerly await the outcome of this pivotal visit.
