BREAKING: 5-star DL confirms Flip to Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia football holds the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class and has a strong chance to finish at No. 1 for the second consecutive year, with several key prospects still in play for Kirby Smart and his staff.

One of the most prominent targets is five-star defensive lineman . Ranked as the No. 10 overall player in the 2025 class by the 247Sports Composite, Terry is also the No. 2 defensive lineman and the No. 3 prospect in Georgia. His recruitment has been highly contested for years but is set to conclude this week as the early signing period opens on Wednesday.

Georgia has been a long-time contender in Terry’s recruitment, with Smart and his staff pursuing him diligently. However, Terry recently announced that he has officially shut down his recruitment, barring any further contact from schools ahead of his commitment date on December 4. The Bulldogs are hopeful they can secure his pledge to solidify their hold on the top spot in the 2025 recruiting rankings.

Where does Georgia stand with Justus Terry?

Georgia has long been viewed as the favorite to land five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry, with 247Sports logging five crystal ball predictions in favor of the Bulldogs. However, the recruitment may be more competitive than it initially appeared.

Terry’s most recent visit to Auburn in late November reportedly went very well, sparking speculation that the Tigers could be serious contenders. While none of the predictions for Georgia have been flipped, rumors suggest Auburn is making a strong push.

Additionally, Sports Illustrated reported today that Texas has been heavily involved in Terry’s recruitment, adding another layer of uncertainty.

While Georgia has led for some time, it seems the race is tightening ahead of Terry’s decision on December 6. The Bulldogs remain in the mix, but they may not be as clear a favorite as once thought.
