Former 5-star prospect strongly linked to two major college football programs

Our Summary
Missouri's 2025 season concluded with an 8–5 record, including a Gator Bowl loss to Virginia, marking a decline from their previous two years of strong finishes. Despite inconsistencies, the team's defense was a standout, finishing eighth nationally in total yards allowed and 17th in scoring defense. Junior edge rusher Damon Wilson was a key contributor, with 9.0 sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss among his achievements.
Wilson, originally a five-star recruit for Georgia, transferred to Missouri for the 2025 season, where he gained attention for his pass-rushing skills. After entering the transfer portal, he became On3's No. 5 overall transfer portal prospect. He has scheduled visits with Texas Tech and Miami, both of which have recent histories of national contention and strong defensive programs.
Texas Tech recently won the Big 12 title and participated in the College Football Playoff, while Miami reached the CFP championship game, emphasizing their need for defensive talent.
