Damon Wilson is headed back to a familiar place after one season with Missouri football.
For the second time in his three-year collegiate career, the edge rusher is entering the transfer portal. Wilson played his first two seasons with Georgia in 2023 and 2024, but opted to enter the portal last year. Wilson will have one year of eligibility remaining.
In his lone season with the Tigers, Wilson finished with 23 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks, one interception, two pass deflections and a fumble recovery.
Following his decision to transfer from the Bulldogs, the University of Georgia sued Wilson for $390,000 in liquidated damages due to an unfulfilled contract with the Bulldogs’ former NIL collective, Classic City Collective. Wilson countersued Georgia in late December.
Wilson signed with the Bulldogs out of Venice, Florida, as a five-star recruit in the 2023 recruiting class, according to 247 Sports Composite rankings. He was the No. 17 overall player, the third-ranked edge rusher and the No. 4 player from Florida.
In 26 games with the Bulldogs, Wilson had 26 tackles (six tackles for loss), 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
