247 and Rivals consider Terry a 3-star recruit, while Scout and ESPN rate him as 4-stars. He had some pretty solid offers -- from Illinois, Duke, and Boston College -- but his early commitment may have diminished his offer list.
Terry is a pretty big quarterback (6' 4" and 210 lbs) and he is supposed to be mobile, though there aren't any numbers on his athleticism. So let's turn to his video:
Terry does look pretty mobile. He's probably faster than all of MSU's quarterbacks, except perhaps Connor Cook, who also runs pretty well. Terry also has strong arm and can launch the ball down the field - with some touch.
Upshot: Terry becomes the third straight mobile quarterback recruited by MSU, so it seems safe to say that Dantonio and the coaches have developed a preference for mobility. Terry has the tools to be an excellent quarterback, but the buzz is that he is pretty raw and will need time to develop. That's OK because MSU will be loaded at quarterback for years to come. So Terry will get his time to develop, but he will also need to make some serious progress, if he is to eventually become the starter. If he succeeds, we probably won't see him take the field until he is a redshirt junior.
