Nebraska coaches visit 5-star ATH Michael Terry

Nebraska has its eyes on a few five-star recruiting targets in the 2025 class, but none might be more important than San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights athlete Michael Terry.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder is one of the nation’s most dynamic playmakers on both sides of the ball, and the Huskers see him as key potential centerpiece in their class.

He took an official visit to Lincoln last month, and on Wednesday, multiple Nebraska assistant coaches visited Terry at his school.

Huskers made a strong impression on his official visit

Matt Rhule and Co. are battling Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, USC and many others for Terry. But Nebraska has a lot of the things he is looking for in a school and football program.

“I think it’s a good fit because the staff and education is great,” Terry told On3’s Steve Wiltfong after his official visit. “I believe that Coach Rhule is going in the right direction with the program and the connections he has with the players and parents is unbelievable. It was a lot of ex-players and parents there and you can tell they still felt comfortable there.

Nebraska sees Terry playing as a multi-purpose weapon in their offense, where they believe he could be a dominant pass-catcher.

“Coach (Garret) McGuire is a great coach and pointed out all the things he’ll love to work with me on,” Terry said.

Michael Terry Recruiting Profile

The On3 Industry Ranking tabs Terry as the nation’s No. 1 athlete and No. 24 prospect overall. Next up for him is a visit to Oregon on May 18 and he’ll get back to Texas A&M the weekend of June 13.

On3’s Scouting and Rankings Team writes this about him as a prospect:

“True do-it-all football player who could project at a high level at upwards of four or five positions at the next level. Has lined up as a receiver, running back, quarterback and cornerback for his high school team. Measured in at around 6-foot-3, 215 pounds with good length. Registers as a strong athlete in track and field posting 6-4 foot high jump and wind-aided 10.83 second mark in the 100 meters as a sophomore. Transfers that athleticism to the field, where he is one of the more impactful jumbo athletes in the cycle on Friday nights. Shows the ability to separate and make plays at the catch point at wide receiver. A nimble ball carrier with the ability to pull away when he lines up at running back. Could potentially grow into a jack of all trades offensive weapon capable of lining up in the backfield, split out wide or as an H-Back. Also an intriguing option as a back seven defender. Has a linebacker frame with corner athleticism and fluidity. Has true positional ambiguity but an extremely versatile and useful skill set. Will need to hone in on one position and add technical skill as he’s yet to focus at one spot.”
