Justus Terry grabbed national headlines long before he arrived at Manchester High School in Douglasville, Georgia. Terry, who goes by the nickname Jay, went viral for an Instagram post by Sports Illustrated's "Monday Morning Quarterback" blog. In the post, the then 6-foot-5, 260-pound eighth grader is shown flexing with a frame that seemingly was created by CGI. “I didn’t expect that or wasn’t meaning for it to go viral,” Terry told DawgNation. “I wasn’t going to post it. But my brother told me that I needed to post it. When I posted it, my phone just instantly started ringing. I was shocked. Because I never have been a part of anything like that before.” Terry then went on to garner attention as one of the country's top high school football prospects. During the 2022 season, Terry recorded 38 tackles and four sacks. He also had three receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. Away from football, Terry loves cutting hair and plans to open his own business after football is over.

Justus Terry's size, plus first step quickness and violence on contact remind us of Jeffery Simmons. Like Simmons, Terry is a highly productive high school defensive lineman who lives in the backfield on Friday nights. Simmons looks to be a touch longer than Terry.
