Michael Terry III’s power-speed upside is real, but his Texas role is still climbing
In the 2026 season, Michael Terry III has started to flash in limited work for Texas, logging 3 carries for 8 yards in the opener while staying in the mix as a 6-foot-3, 229-pound sophomore with blue-chip pedigree and rare versatility. He was a top-60 national recruit, and reports from camp say he’s been impressing coaches with his physical tools and effort, even as he sits behind a crowded backfield. If you want a high-upside, developmental back with mismatch potential and special-athlete juice, he’s worth the bet.
