Moderators Popular Post Gerry Hamilton Posted February 6 Moderators Popular Post Posted February 6 Note on Justus Terry OnTexasFootball has learned that 5-star freshman defensive lineman Justus Terry is expected to begin his college career practicing at the “Jack” or strong side defensive end position. Terry is weighing 272-275 pounds currently. He was around 260 pounds when he reported for bowl practices. He will likely transition into a 3/5 over time - likely year two in the program. Those in Austin are extremely high on where Terry is heading into the spring, and will go as a player. 55 1 Quote
John Moore Posted February 6 Posted February 6 There's going to be some stiff competition for the spot behind Burke 5 Quote
Ojeezy Posted February 6 Posted February 6 How does his size/weight projection compare to Lance Jackson? When they are at their projected ceiling will they be on the field at the same time? Quote
LonghornDiggah Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Him and lance jackson competing at the jack early on will be something to see Quote
qaertyisthatdude Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Was this partially influenced by the addition of LaAllan Clark to the defensive staff or do they want to get him more playing time as a true freshman and get a good return on their NIL investment? I know Clark and Kenny Baker specialize in teaching pass rush. 1 Quote
harveycmd Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Hard to see the freshmen taking snaps from Burke and Vasek. Does this mean Vasek's injury is likely to keep him out? Quote
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Sark, PLEASE have a spring ball. I cant wait to see how the defensive and offensive lines are progressing. Quote

You & every coach in America 😂 selfishly I get it but if it keeps the roster intact then we can cancel it 1 1 Quote

Us, sark and every other college coach knows Texas has drafts picks all over the field. If it’s a guy we want to hold onto i would think we (one if not the richest college programs) have the NIL funds to make it a reality. 1 Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 6 Moderators Posted February 6 Sign me up for any and all levels of versatility with Lance Jackson and Justus Terry. Great note, Gerry! 10 Quote

I do think it’s overblown for sure but I do think if one of our guys go crazy in the spring game, it’s not just the other programs we need to worry about. We gotta worry about who may be around these kids telling them they’re worth x amount of dollars & they should explore the portal etc. But overall I agree with your premise that we as Texas really shouldn’t struggle to retain players. I would hope everyone in the program is locked in & wouldn’t be swayed anyways but you never know. 1 Quote

Hank Kingsley Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I'm guessing Terry is a 3 years and off to the NFL player. Whichever position that gets him on the field the quickest is good for him and good for us. 2 Quote
TooBrokeToPayAttention21 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 So does someone move inside to the inside of the d line to account for this move? Or do we now go after 2 interior d lineman in the portal? Quote
t.newman Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Will be interesting to see how it plays out, with Zima being listed at 6'5" and 260 is he slotted for Buck? Burke, Vasek, Jackson, and Terry all fighting for playing time... That is a stacked room! Quote

And you'll have guys like LaAllan Clark, Kenny Baker, Johnny Nansen, and Pete Kwiatkowski working with them omg 3 Quote
Santiago Agudelo Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Is there any concern that it might take Terry a while to get up to that 300lbs mark? He seems like a pretty toned up dline guy so I’m curious how much weight he can hold. Also with not many 3 techs on the roster I fell like this spring would have been great for him. Quote
Bevo92 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Exciting update. Love the depth and high upside we have across DL and LB. Hook em! 🐂🤘🏼🧡 Quote

uthorn1374 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 What is the likelihood he can put on 25 lbs by the start of the season similar to Simmons? Quote
