Former Georgia LB predicted to have breakout season with new school
Former Georgia LB predicted to have breakout season with new school Former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Damon Wilson, who transferred to the Missouri Tigers this offseason, is expected to have a breakout season at Missouri. Wilson is ranked as the No. 3 transfer in the country and the No. 1 edge transfer. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound edge defender is just one of three players to be ranked as a five-star transfer, according to 247Sports. Wilson never had outstanding production at Georgia, but he was behind several NFL draft picks, like Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams, in Georgia's front seven rotation. As a sophomore, Wilson recorded 22 tackles, three sacks and forced two fumbles. He was poised to have a big season with Georgia in 2025, but instead opted to transfer to Missouri. His transfer means that Georgia lost all six of their leading sack producers from the 2024 college football season. Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY envisions Wilson having a breakout season with his new school. Wilson is a former five-star recruit in the class of 2023. "The 6-4, 245-pounder could be a cornerstone of a Missouri defense that lost its top edge threat in second team All-SEC pick Johnny Walker Jr., and more opportunities to flash his explosiveness could vault him up draft boards," said Middlehurst-Schwartz. Wilson could elect to enter the 2026 NFL draft after the 2025 college football season. He has the physical potential to play in the NFL and could further help his draft stock with a productive junior season at Missouri. Middlehurst-Schwartz named Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch as another player that is poised to rise in the 2026 NFL draft.
