Five-star DT Justus Terry announces his withdrawal

Five-star defensive line recruit Justus Terry has decommitted from the USC Trojans. Terry had been committed to USC since March. Terry is USC’s second decommitment in the last two days.

Terry, who joins five-star edge rusher Isaiah Gibson in decommitting from USC, is a key recruiting target for Georgia football. Terry was previously committed to head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia, but forfeited his commitment to the Bulldogs in favor of the USC Trojans. Now his recruitment is open again.

Justus Terry recently noted that his recruitment will happen on signing day at the earliest. “I won’t sign until December,” Terry told On3’s Jeremy Johnson. “So I won’t know until the end.” Terry took an official visit to the University of Georgia, which may have contributed to his disengagement.

Terry is a priority recruit for Georgia. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound defender plays high school football at Manchester High School in Manchester, Georgia.

The elite defensive lineman is ranked as the No. 2 player at his position and the No. 2 player in Georgia, according to 247Sports. Terry is ranked as the seventh best player in the country.

Georgia football is still fielding a defensive line of top quality, elite talent and is hoping to re-commit Justus Terry. The Bulldogs are in the midst of recruiting and show no signs of slowing down.
