Texas Longhorns Land Five-Star DL Justus Terry in Shocking Flip From Georgia, Secure Record $332M in Athletic Revenue
In a stunning turn of events, the Texas Longhorns have landed Justus Terry, a five-star defensive lineman, flipping him from the Georgia Bulldogs in what is being called one of the most shocking recruiting moves of the offseason. The Longhorns’ aggressive and innovative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) approach played a significant role in securing Terry’s commitment, signaling Texas’ growing dominance in the NIL era.
Terry, widely regarded as one of the top defensive linemen in the 2025 recruiting class, had been committed to Georgia for over a year. However, Texas swooped in with a compelling pitch, utilizing its robust NIL program to create opportunities that other programs couldn’t match.
This monumental recruiting win comes on the heels of another massive development for Texas Athletics—a record-breaking $332 million in athletic revenue for the 2024 fiscal year. The Longhorns have officially become the first Division I public school to surpass $300 million in both revenue and expenses, an unprecedented milestone in college sports history.
The financial windfall is a superlative endorsement of Texas’ athletic program, reinforcing the school’s status as a national powerhouse in the rapidly evolving collegiate landscape.
With Terry’s commitment, Texas continues to build one of the strongest defensive classes in the nation, positioning itself as a legitimate national championship contender as it transitions into the SEC.
As Texas continues to flex its financial muscle and recruiting prowess, one thing is clear—the Longhorns are not just back, they’re here to stay.
