Terry was recruited by head coach Ralph Starenko. He recalled his early days at Augie when he wrote, "I'll always remember how much special attention the coaches gave while they were recruiting you; then, almost acting like they didn't know us, the rookies, when we showed up as freshmen." He added, "I'll also always remember how sad I felt walking off the field after the final game as a senior. In between, we beat a lot of teams and really established Augie football as a power in the NCC. We also had a lot of fun!"
