Following the Red Raiders in the same week were Oregon, Nebraska, SMU, Houston and Purdue, to give Terry III a total of eight (8) offers following just his sophomore season.

Tech coaches: "The offer came together when I was in class. I was in study hall and my coach, coach (Ron) Rittimann he called me and told me to come down to the field. Coach (Mike) Barranco, my offensive coordinator, he got some receivers I can throw to. Coach (Zach) Kittley was one of the coaches who was down there, just watching me throw.

He's a pretty good guy, and he said he was gonna give me an offer when I called him."

Position fit: "I think the offer is for an athlete. Most of my offers are for just being an athlete."

Reaction to Tech offer: "Yeah, I was really just thankful and excited for getting the opportunity to get an offer from Tech. Somebody just noticing the hard work I've been putting in. As soon as I got the offer I just thanked my mom and my dad."

Connections to Tech: "I don't have any connections there other than coach Kittley and some of the other coaches."

Wants to study: "I haven't made a decision for that, what I want to major in, but the coaches told me that the program was pretty good on and off the field."

Key factors in his recruitment: "Some of the important stuff is just being so close to my family, if I did have the chance to go there. Having good academics and education."

Overall recruitment: "All the schools, they're all pretty good. I don't have some that stand out more than others right now but I'm really just trying to keep working harder, keep my grades up."

Visit plans: "I have some plans to go on visits during the summer probably but right now I'm just in basketball. Pretty much all of them, all of the schools that I can visit right now."

Multi-sport athlete: Terry III plays football, basketball and track, and says playing those other sports helps him on the gridiron, too.

"I run the 200 meter, the 4x400 meter and the 4x100 meter. If you play different sports it gives your body time to develop in different places and stuff and it gives you more of an advantage on the football field."
