A 5-star defensive lineman from Manchester, GA, Justus Terry, is expected to officially visit Auburn football this weekend for the Texas A&M game per On3 Recruits on X.

The six-foot-five, 275-lb Terry holds offers from 20 different schools, but remains uncommitted after decommitting from USC earlier this year. Terry is rated the 9th overall player in the nation per the On3 industry ranking.

247 Sports' Andrew Ivins shared this scouting report on Justus Terry:

"Big, rugged run-stopper with the length and athleticism to play in a variety of different alignments up front. Measured 6-foot-5, 275 pounds spring before junior season and came in with some longer arms. Constantly moves people at the line of scrimmage, winning with strength and power. Plugs gaps with quick-shed capability and can frequently defeat double teams. Has tested exceptionally well for someone of his stature and that short-area quickness shows up under the lights as he can redirect and make stops while in pursuit. Pushes pockets and has created plenty of pressure while facing inferior competition, but needs technical refinement and to improve plan of action as a pass rusher. Must also embrace the idea of bringing it every snap and boost play awareness. Overall, should be viewed as one of the top interior defensive lineman in the 2025 cycle given his brawny build and fluid movement patterns. Must keep progressing and soak up coaching, but has what it takes to be a true difference-maker at the point of attack and a future pro."

Auburn's 2025 recruiting class is No. 5 in the nation. There have been some recruiting losses of late, but Terry would swing the pendulum back in their favor.
