A few weeks back, Shaun Terry, a 2025 wide receiver from Ironton High School in Ohio, made his inaugural visit to Notre Dame during the junior day. Following this visit, Terry, a highly talented athlete, received an offer from the Irish, adding to his growing list of impressive offers from various programs. His recruitment has been gaining momentum, attracting attention from several prominent schools. According to Jerrod Pendleton, assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Ironton, Terry is handling the recruiting process admirably, staying focused despite the increasing interest. Coach Pendleton described Terry as humble, mature, and driven, benefitting from guidance within his athletic family. While Terry may be a recent name for Notre Dame fans, coaches like Mike Brown have known him for some time, fostering connections from previous coaching roles. The recent visit to Notre Dame left a positive impression, with Terry appreciating the university’s prestige, academic reputation, and football program history.
Despite the constant influx of interest from new schools, Terry is beginning to narrow down his focus to a select few. Schools such as Michigan, Clemson, Missouri, Oregon, West Virginia, Penn State, and Michigan State are actively pursuing him. However, Notre Dame remains a top contender in Terry’s considerations. While there’s a tentative timeline for Terry to make a decision before his senior year, nothing is set in stone. Notre Dame’s strong impression could propel them forward in Terry’s recruitment.
Despite being rated as a three-star recruit by On3, 247Sports, and Rivals, Terry’s extensive offer list reflects his true value. Standing at 5-9 and weighing 170 pounds, Terry has garnered interest from top Midwest schools and beyond, including USC, Auburn, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Louisville, and others. His exceptional junior season showcased his versatility and playmaking ability, contributing on offense, defense, and special teams for Ironton High School.
