Georgia EDGE Damon Wilson plans to enter transfer portal
The highest-rated prospect in Georgia’s No. 1 ranked 2023 recruiting class is seeking a transfer. Accordingt to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, sophomore edge Damon Wilson is seeking a transfer where he will have three years to play two.
Wilson’s name has not yet appeared in the transfer portal and Georgia will likely work to try and keep him in the fold. Even if Wilson does enter the portal, a transfer is not then mandatory.
The Florida native finished the 2024 season with 3 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss. With Georgia losing both Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams to the NFL Draft on Monday, the Wilson news comes as a bit of a surprise.

More on the transfer portal…
The NCAA student-athlete transfer portal launched in 2018. It marked a change from when student-athletes had to get a release from their school to transfer to another and they could be limited as to where they transferred. The portal allows student athletes to simply notify their current school and its compliance department that they intend to move on to another program.
Last season, Georgia lost 21 scholarship players to the portal, watching several end up at power conference programs around the country. The Bulldogs did add to their talent however, as they’ve done before. Adding to the likes of Lawrence Cager, Tre McKitty, Derion Kendrick, Tykee Smith, Dominic Lovett and others that have joined the program in the past, UGA brought in Trevor Etienne, Colbie Young, London Humphreys, Ben Yurosek, Xzavier McLeod and others that have had an impact on the Bulldogs’ 2024 campaign.
