2025 No. 1 ATH Michael Terry III sets unofficial visit to Texas

For San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights four-star Michael Terry III, he’s ready to get back to the Forty Acres.

The 6-foot-2, 211-pounder and No. 1-rated athlete in the Class of 2025 will take an unofficial visit to Texas on July 27th or 28th, he tells Inside Texas.

“Texas just invited me to the pool party/BBQ,” Terry told Inside Texas. “I’ll be there. Right now, I’m just taking my time, no rush. Not taking anymore visits.”

Texas and Oregon have separated from the pack and both are standing out in his recruitment. Texas RB coach Tashard Choice and Oregon OC Will Stein both offered Terry early, and both have his attention.

“Coach (Tashard) Choice and coach (Will) Stein believed in me since 8th grade,” said Terry. “They were one of my first offers. Both in eighth grade.”

Terry took a number of official visits throughout the process including Texas, Oregon, Nebraska, and Texas A&M. But it’s the Horns and Ducks at this stage in his recruitment.

Proximity is a big factor for Terry, who is being recruited at athlete for the Horns. They’ll figure out his position if or when he inks with the Longhorns. He could be a factor at tight end of H-back on offense, or inside linebacker on defense.

Terry is the No. 26 overall prospect and No. 1 athlete in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 7 player in Texas.

On3 Scouting Report

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. – Charlie Williams

On3 Personal Life

Alamo Heights coach Ron Rittimann said he’s yet to find something that Michael Terry can’t do on the football field. “He can run, he can jump, he can catch, he can throw, he can tackle and he can block,” Rittimann told Irish Sports Daily. “I haven’t found anything the kid can’t do, to be honest with you. He plays multiple positions. Last year, we taught him how to rugby punt so he could do that, and I think he scored two touchdowns out of a rugby punt formation. I haven’t really found anything that he can’t do. The God-given talent that he has with great work ethic is what’s making him so successful.” During his junior season, Terry accounted for 1,588 offensive yards and 32 touchdowns, including 564 receiving yards and 995 yards on the ground. He also had 15 tackles and an interception in limited action on defense. “He’s a very special player, but he’s a really special person,” Rittimann said. “He’s just a great kid and a hard worker. He’s got a bunch of God-given talent – very humble, great parents, great family. He just checks every box of being a coach’s dream.”
