Georgia transfer has career-best performance in win
Georgia Bulldogs transfer defensive lineman Damon Wilson recently had the best performance of his career, backing up his All-ACC honors
Georgia transfer defensive lineman Damon Wilson is having an outstanding 2026 season with the Miami Hurricanes, following a one-year stint at Missouri Tigers. In Miami's recent 41-13 victory over Clemson Tigers, Wilson delivered a career-best performance, registering 2.5 sacks and three tackles. Notably, Wilson recorded 11 pressures against Clemson, tying for the most in the nation during Week 5 according to Pro Football Focus.
Miami head coach Mario Cristobal praised Wilson's progress in their system, expressing eagerness for more impressive performances in the coming weeks. Wilson, who previously had a nine-sack season with Missouri, is excelling at No. 4 Miami, which currently sits at 5-0 and is poised to return to the College Football Playoff, having faced a championship setback last season.
Wilson was one of the top transfer prospects in the country and is expected to be a second-round draft pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Miami will take a week off before facing in-state rival Florida State. Damon Wilson led the nation in pressures during Week 5, as confirmed by PFF College.
