Terry was originally committed to Michigan State, but decommitted from the Spartans in October.

In Terry, the Ducks have secured a gritty floor general with the perfect blend of quickness and speed. Terry gets into the lane at-will and has the innate ability to typically make the high-percentage play.

His speed and anticipation make him a master a playing passing lanes and get out in transition where he tends to thrive.

This past summer, Terry averaged 17.4 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds a game for The Family (Mich.) on the Nike EYBL, the most grueling summer circuit in the country.

Terry is Ducks head coach Dana Altman’s first commit from the 2020 class.
