Justus Terry, a 5-star defensive lineman listed at 6-5, 275 pounds who pledged to Georgia on Jan. 16, 2023, announced that he has flipped his commitment to USC. Terry made the big announcement in an Instagram post.

A standout at Manchester (Georgia) High School, Terry is listed as measuring 6-5, 275 pounds. He is rated the No. 2 defensive lineman, No. 2 player in the Peach State and No. 8 prospect overall in the Class of 2025 on the 247Sports Composite.

Terry’s 247Sports profile notes that Dell McGee was his primary UGA recruiter. Earlier this year, McGee was hired as Georgia State’s new head coach.

The Trojans weren’t done in the Peach State. Isaiah Gibson, a blue-chip Edge, also pledged to play for Riley’s program.

Gibson shared the big news on X, formerly Twitter.

A standout of Warner Robins (Georgia), Gibson is listed as measuring 6-4, 245 pounds. On the 247Sports Composite, he is rated 4-stars, the No. 8 Edge, No. 12 player in the state of Georgia and No. 76 overall in the Class of 2025.

Gibson committed to USC over scholarship offers from 37 other programs. Gorgia, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas are among the programs that showed interest in Gibson.

USC has long had national reach and visibility as a college football brand. Beating out Georgia for two top-100 prospects in the state still makes quite the statement to the college football world.

The Trojans’ move to the Big Ten gives the program increased coast-to-coast visibility. Riley and his staff are showing that they aren’t just focusing on California (a top talent pool in its own right) or the B1G footprint, but are going to recruit nationally to bring the country’s top talent to USC.
