Three showing Terry the most interest
Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff Rivals250 outside linebacker Marvin Terry has established himself as one of the top defensive playmakers in the 2016 recruiting class.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound defender has registered over 100 tackles and around 20 sacks each of the past two seasons on his way to first-team all-state honors. Scholarship offers have arrived from Arkansas, California, Colorado State, Louisville, Oklahoma State, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, UCLA, and Wisconsin.

"They talk about my speed the most," Terry said of the college recruiters. "Some think I'll be a good fit at outside or Jack linebacker where I can rush off the edge but still be able to cover."
He is receiving the most interest from Oklahoma State, TCU, and Texas Tech and he is looking forward to his first Junior Day.
"I have the OSU Super Junior Day coming up," Terry said. "I'll be attending that. It's on the 27th of February I believe."
When it comes to the recruiting process, Terry is not in a rush to make a decision. He does not claim any leaders at this point in the process, and he is keeping an open mind.
"I'm trying to figure it out and I'm still looking," Terry said. "I'm trying to compare and see where I can be a good fit and have the best impact on a team."
He does not have a hard deadline on when he would like to make a decision, but he does have a few ideas.
"I'll do it probably this summer and if not this summer then close to Signing Day," Terry said.
Terry recorded 130 tackles, 31 tackles for loss, and 23.5 sacks from his defensive end position as a sophomore, and posted 130 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, and 18 sacks as a junior linebacker.
He is currently ranked No. 138 in the 2016 Rivals250, No. 12 among the nation's 2016 outside linebackers, and No. 12 in the Rivals.com Texas Postseason Top 85 for 2016.
