[Sebastian Font]

Miami has landed one of the top defensive prospects in the portal cycle, securing the commitment of Missouri edge Damon Wilson II.



The Hurricanes beat out Texas Tech, LSU and Ohio State for the top-10 overall portal prospect, bringing the Florida native back to the Sunshine State.

Don’t even think he’s a finished product…a year of coaching with JT is gonna turn this kid into a monster

No one is bain. That's not a criticism.

I think he will play Mesidor’s spot more than Bains

He's about to turn 21 years old, still a lot of room to develop which is scary. 3 sacks in 2024, 9 in 2025... 10+ in 2026?

JT gonna make this kid a top 15 pick.

If he commits to it and takes advantage. 3 and 4 were always working with JT

Paired with improved DT play, he's as close to a perfect fit as we can get.

one piece of the puzzle solved.

Could Lowe be that/become that on the strongside?? Seems like he's got the strength to hold up in that role.
