On3 DB / Damon Wilson

As a College Recruit

Disruptive pass rusher with one of the best first steps and flexibility in the 2023 cycle. Owns a solid build, checking in at nearly 6-foot-4 and over 230 pounds. Has plus length for the position with arms that measure over 34 inches. Tests as a good athlete in the combine setting but plays quicker than his times indicate. Explosive and twitchy leaper. Shows the ability to bend and dip around the edge, in addition to the outstanding first step. Has high-level curvilinear movement skills with the ability to get low and turn corners at high speeds. Advanced technically and flashes quick hands. Plays with good effort. A dogged worker who has spent time training. Plays for a top high school program in Florida, helping his team to a state title as a junior. Had a big junior season, tallying 15 sacks. Was not as productive as a senior. Strong in the weight room, but will need to continue adding play strength to aid as a run defender. Can also improve his closing speed to aid in finishing plays behind the line at a higher rate. Looks like one of the better pure pass rushers in the 2023 cycle.

Damon Wilson reminds us of Robert Quinn due to his first-step quickness, play strength, length and ability to bend the corner at the edge. Both excel as pure edge rushers and use their athleticism and curvilinear movement skills to beat offensive tackles in pass rush situations. Quinn was a state champion wrestler. Wilson is exceptionally strong in the weight room.

Damon Wilson earns 5th star from On3

Charles Power

EDGE Damon Wilson vaults up to (No. 4) after being on the cusp of five-star status for some time. Wilson may have the best combination of bend and first step quickness among pass rushers in the 2023 cycle. The Venice (Fla.) High standout is a clean prospect. He is a verified 6-foot-3.5, 235 pounds with 34-inch arms. Wilson is very productive in Florida’s highest classification. He’s also extremely athletic and strong with a 420-pound bench press. That resume at a premium position leads to Wilson’s rise.
