This week is another massive recruiting week for the Georgia Bulldogs.
That's because they have a chance to land not one, but two five-star prospects.
One of those prospects is defensive lineman Justus Terry, who is the No. 2 defensive lineman out from the 2025 recruiting class and the No. 12 overall prospect, per 247 Sports.
The 6-foot-5, 270-pound defensive tackle initially committed to the Bulldogs in January of last year before flipping his decision to the USC Trojans.
However, after decommiting from USC, the Bulldogs are back on Terry's radar.
Georgia Remains on Terry's Mind
"Georgia’s been in my heart," Terry said, via Jed May of UGA Rivals. "They never left, to be honest with you.”
Terry, a Manchester, GA, native posted 78 total tackles, 13 sacks, and six tackles for loss for Machester High School in 2023.
Playing close to home at the college level would be ideal in Terry's mind.
"I feel like I have a lot of family members and I’m big on family," Terry said. "When it comes to my decision, I want to be close to my family but at a good school that can still develop me. That’s what played a big part in my decision, really the distance and leaving family behind and my mom, being far away from my mom."
Terry visited Athens earlier this month where Georgia star defensive end Mykel Williams showed him around and then two weeks later, Terry dropped USC.
Other than Georgia, Terry is considering Florida State and Alabama, though the Bulldogs are said to be in the lead.
The other five-star recruit that Georgia could land as soon as this weekend is edge Isaiah Gibson, who decomitted from USC one day before Terry.
Gibson is visiting Athens for the third time this weekend.
