REPORT: Georgia Football set to recruit 5-star DL during next visit

Georgia football is on a recruiting hot streak, recently climbing to the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings. Despite their success, Kirby Smart and his staff are pushing to add even more elite talent.

One of their top priorities in the 2025 class is five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry. Ranked as the No. 9 overall player by 247Sports, Terry is also the No. 2 defensive lineman and the second-best player in Georgia.

Georgia has long been considered the favorite for Terry, with five crystal ball predictions pointing in their direction. However, a new contender has entered the race late, looking to shake up the recruitment battle.

5-star Justus Terry visiting Auburn this weekend

Five-star defensive lineman Justus Terry is set to visit Auburn this weekend as they host Texas A&M, which could add an unexpected twist to his recruitment. Until now, most believed the race for Terry was primarily between Georgia and Alabama. However, Auburn’s late push could shake things up.

While it’s unclear how strong Auburn’s chances are, it seems unlikely they will surpass Georgia. The Bulldogs have long been the front-runner, and Terry was even committed to Georgia earlier in the cycle. Despite Auburn’s efforts, Georgia fans likely have little to worry about at this stage.

Terry plans to announce his decision on Dec. 6, the final day of the early signing period, meaning the wait for an answer is almost over. Georgia will be hoping Terry’s visit to Auburn doesn’t give him second thoughts, as a last-minute shift could complicate what has felt like their recruitment to lose.
