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 Ohio State for the top-10 overall portal prospect, bringing the Florida native back to the Sunshine State.

Listed at 6-foot–4 and 250 pounds, the rising senior spent two years at Georgia before his breakout 2025 season — where he racked up 9 sacks, 23 total tackles and 2 forced fumbles.



He fits the style of DC Corey Hetherman as an aggressive down field rusher who causes chaos with incredible power and burst off the edge. Wilson particularly shined in the pass rush, leading the Tigers with 54 pressures and QB hurries with 37.

As mentioned above, Wilson is a Florida native who applied his trade at Venice — the high school of incoming freshman edge rusher Asharri Charles. In his original 2023 class, Wilson was a five-star, one of the top-50 recruits in the country.



Wilson joins WR Vandrevius Jones, WR Cam Vaughn, DB Omar Thompson, DT Jarquez Carter, and kickers Jack Olsen and Jake Weinberg as the ’Canes current portal haul, with more moves to come.

Better pass rusher. Not as stout against the run (nobody is).

His first step and explosiveness is better than Bain, he is the type that disrupts even a quick passing attack like Ole Miss because he can get up field in a hurry. Definitely not the functional strength or as good in run support as Bain, but this kid has the makings of an elite DE with a great ceiling at the next level.
