West Virginia transfer offensive lineman Justin Terry commits to Ohio State

West Virginia transfer offensive lineman Justin Terry has committed to Ohio State, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. The 6-foot-5, 325-pound lineman will have four years of eligibility remaining with the Buckeyes.

Terry played high school football at Pickerington Central (Pickerington, OH), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 1574 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

After playing sparingly for West Virginia, Justin Terry will be hoping to make a name for himself at Ohio State. The Buckeyes must have liked what they’ve seen from the offensive lineman, and he’ll be headed to Columbus in 2025.

In other news, Ohio State made a massive splash in the NCAA transfer portal earlier this week, landing a commitment from Beau Atkinson, a source told On3’s Pete Nakos. The former North Carolina EDGE was one of the top names when he decided to enter. And now, he will continue his college football career in Columbus.

Plenty of other schools were going after Atkinson during his transfer portal process. Georgia was widely considered the main competitor and even hosted Atkinson on a visit. Two of college football’s biggest programs battled it out for a top pass rusher and ultimately, Ohio State won out.

According to the On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings, Atkinson was a four-star prospect this cycle. He ranked as the No. 52 overall player and No. 8 when just looking at EDGEs. Just two other players, both defensive backs, were ranked higher when looking at available players.

Now, Ohio State is adding somebody with both experience and production. Atkinson played in all 13 North Carolina games last season, totalling 35 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, and 7.5 sacks. A monster performance against Florida State really stands out, having five TFLs and 3.2 sacks against the Seminoles.

Atkinson played high school football at Raleigh (NC) Leesville Road, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 355 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
