A'lique Terry

Title:
Graduate Assistant - Offense

A’Lique Terry is in his second season as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line at Oregon. He joined Mario Cristobal’s staff after a four-year career as an offensive lineman at Wake Forest.

Before joining the Ducks for the 2019 season, Terry spent part of the 2018 season as the offensive line/quarterbacks quality control coach at Wake Forest.

OREGON (2019-Present)
Terry joined the Oregon program before the 2019 season and was a key contributor in the Ducks’ run to a Pac-12 Conference championship, a Rose Bowl title and a 12-2 overall record. Oregon’s offensive line was one of four finalists for the Joe Moore Award, which honors the nation’s most outstanding offensive unit in college football.

During his first season at Oregon, Terry helped coach three players who earned All-America honors, including 2019 Outland Trophy winner Penei Sewell. The Ducks’ left tackle, Sewell joined quarterback Marcus Mariota (2014) and running back LaMichael James (2010) as the only Oregon players to be unanimous first-team All-Americans.

Left guard Shane Lemieux and right tackle Calvin Throckmorton also claimed All-America accolades with Terry’s help. Lemieux earned first-team honors from Sports Illustrated, while Throckmorton was a second-team pick on three different teams (FWAA, CBS Sports, Phil Steele). He was also a second-team academic All-American.

Oregon’s offensive line dominated the Pac-12’s award for the league’s offensive lineman of the week in 2019. An Oregon player earned the honor in eight of the 12 weeks Oregon had a game. No other Pac-12 team won the award more than two times. Sewell won the award a league-high four times, while Throckmorton and Lemieux each won it twice. The trio of Ducks were the only multi-week award winners during the season.

Four Ducks’ offensive linemen moved on to the NFL following the 2019 season with Lemieux and center Jake Hanson both selected in the NFL Draft. The New York Jets picked Lemieux in the fifth round (No. 150 overall) and the Green Bay Packers selected Hanson in the sixth round (No. 208 overall). Throckmorton signed a free agent deal with the New Orleans Saints, while offensive tackle Brady Aiello did the same with the Minnesota Vikings.

WAKE FOREST (2018)
Terry helped the Demon Deacons earn a spot in the Birmingham Bowl as the quality control coach for the offensive line and running backs. Before joining the staff, he spent the first part of the season working with the Orange Bowl committee.

PLAYING CAREER & PERSONAL
Terry played four seasons at Wake Forest helping the Demon Deacons to a pair of bowl games. He earned the starting nod at center in his first career game as a true freshman before graduating in 2018 with a degree in communications and a minor in entrepreneurship and business. Terry is currently in a post bachelor’s degree program and will pursue a masters in communications/media studies and/or marketing.
