Bevo92 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) Curious to get thoughts from Gerry and Bobby. I keep reading speculation about Terry's position as an ATH and most likely to play either TE or on Def, even though it's clear he wants to play on the offensive side of ball. Oregon promising RB. Nebraska offering at WR. Texas and A&M offering at ATH. Given his size, speed and highly productive record as RB and Receiver in HS (1500 combined yards and 20 TDs last year), curious who you'd compare Michael Terry to.... One comparable that came to mind for me was Lil' Jordan Humphrey. LJH stats after junior year in HS weren't nearly as impressive as Terry. Similar build. LJH came into UT at 200 lbs and 6ft 5in. He grew to 6ft 5in and 225lb by junior year. Terry is similar at 6ft 3in and 217lb currently and far more productive in HS. Clocked speeds for both of them would suggest that Terry is more athletic and much faster. Realize Terry is bigger than the typical WRs at UT currently, but LJH caught over 80 passes and nearly 1200 yds his junior year for 3rd most of any WR in UT history and he was only a a 3-star ATH coming out of H.S. Could Michael Terry end up becoming a better, faster, more athletic version of LJH at Wide Receiver for UT? Is LJH a good comparison or do you have someone else that is better as comparison?

Robbin Antono Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Good comparison IMO, although LJH was never listed as 6-5, I believe he was 6-2 or 6-3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I’m interested to see where he ends up position wise. I’d think he’d enter as an ATH or TE. I never thought about that comparison with LJH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTWOTIMES Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Here was Terry's measurables at On3 Elite from early June: ATH Michael Terry Height: 6-foot-2.5 Weight: 211 pounds Hand size: 9 inches Arm length: 32.125 inches Wing-span: 6-foot-7.5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I don’t care where he plays as long as it’s here at texas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think Humphrey had a bigger catch radius. I think Terry is a more sudden athlete who also has a nice catch radius, too. Humphrey is a physical mismatch for smaller corners but can get eaten up by bigger ones. Terry is a bit different in that he's more well-rounded IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinncent McManning, Jr. Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I hate that we had no real place for terry bussey last year and had him end up at a&m. With the dkm drama I would hope that sark just says we will keep you on offense as you wish and figure out where to put you, knowing that we have an extra wr spot in case somehow he pans out in this role. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT is not as tall as LJH but bigger and faster than HS LJH (LJH 210 college predraft weight and ran 4.75 40). LJH is now listed at 6-4 225 with the Denver Broncos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTG1895 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think he would make a fantastic will outside backer personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Schrader Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I see no reason why he couldn't play more than one position his first 2 years. Too many players, and coaches, for that matter, think they have to pigeonhole every player into just one position. I like guys who can affect the game and I think Terry would be fantastic at safety, LB, nickle, and slot on offense. JMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo92 Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Michael Terry could be an awesome addition with the Horns as either a super athletic TE or as a complete mismatch at WR against smaller DBs. Really hope we get him on board. Everything I keep reading about him suggests he could be a huge addition on offense. Hook Em'. As I was thinking about the LJH comparison, it's interesting to go back and see how Lil Jordan Humphrey was only a 3-star athlete coming out of HS yet he went on to have one of the best ever seasons for UT as a junior. Defenses couldn't stop him. He was too big at WR. With as fast and big as Terry is, think he could be even more impactful. Look forward to seeing how his recruiting path unfolds. Hope it's with the horns!! Hook Em!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerky Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Michael Terry is a combo between Cordarelle Patterson RB, LJH WR, JT Sanders TE and a Superhero. 90 rushes for 806yds - 9ypr 31 catches for 436 yds and 7 TDs - 14ypc and almost 4-1 catch to TD ratio 2 KR TDs MT may play at 6-3 225-245. He is capable of playing offense or defense. Let him play offense if he wants. Just get him to Texas. It should work out fine. 🏈 🤘 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Andreolli Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Not sure Terry makes sense if Texas lands Townsend. Then, it's a question of where he is on the board at safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we get Townsend next week, I hope we take MT at WR. As a 5-star freak of an athlete, let the man come prove himself at WR and if a transition to defense is warranted after year 1, they can always have that as an option. Bottom line is we need him in this class IMO. Not enough high-end 5-stars in this years class. Hope we find a way to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
