ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs just landed ANOTHER 5-star recruit.

And again, it’s another elite pass-rusher in 5-star, Damon Wilson‍.

One of the nation’s top overall prospects, Wilson is a dynamic EDGE defender who gets after the quarterback as well as any defender in the South. At 6-foot-4 240-pounds, Wilson is put together physically and fundamentally sound off the edge.

The Ohio State Buckeyes were believed to be the team to beat throughout the fall, but two visits to Athens this season, including an official visit the weekend of October 7th, gave the Bulldogs the lead as we inched closer and closer to Signing Day.

The Bulldogs already have two outstanding EDGE defenders on board in 5-star Samuel M'Pemba‍ and 4-star Gabriel Harris‍, and now they have another elite defender on board in Wilson.

         The Georgia Bulldogs WIN the 2021 NATIONAL TITLE!

                 

What will Wilson bring to Athens?

Size, strength, and a elite pass-rush.

One of the top overall pass-rushers across the country in the 2023 class, Wilson checks every box that coaches look for at the outside-linebacker/defensive end spot. As a senior this fall, Wilson was all of the field, making 94 tackles, 10 TFLs and 10 sacks.

He can play standing up or with his hand in the ground, he’s lighting quick off the snap, and he can bench-press over 400-pounds. He can beat opposing tackles with speed, but he’s also strong enough to consistently get off blocks that way as well. He’s an elite pass-rusher overall which could help him see the field early on in Athens.

An easy 5-star prospect, Wilson gets into the backfield in a hurry and can blow up any particular play. He was dominant against some tough competition in a massive classification in Florida, so when he wins his battles, he’s doing it against strong competition. He’s a technician as it relates to his pass rush, bending well and using his quick, strong hands to knock opposing tackles off balance.

He’s someone who can do it all on the EDGE, and he’ll be one of Georgia’s top signees in this outstanding 2023 class.

Coaches Opinion:

“Damon (Wilson) is the ultimate team player, competitor, work ethic, total package. His best football is in front of him. Absolute pleasure to be around the last 4 years. ‘Coaches dream’ in the dictionary. His picture would be next to it to the definition.”

- Venice (FL) assistant coach Josh Hunter.

Wilson is ranked in the 247 Composite Rankings as the No. 2 EDGE defender, the No. 4 prospect in Florida, and the No. 12 overall prospect in the country.
