"A volcanic first step and the flexibility to turn the corner at impossible speeds define Damon Wilson II's game. His ability to stress tackles with pure explosiveness is elite, but he struggles to anchor against the run. He projects as a starting head-hunter whose three-down value will depend on strengthening his lower body."
A former five-star who needed a transfer to get the snaps: nine sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss at Missouri in 2025, and now he has to prove at Miami that the get-off works when a tackle takes it away.
What he does well
- 01Get-off — He times the snap better than almost anyone in the class, and the first step alone forces tackles to overset before they finish their kick slide.
- 02Corner flexibility — He bends through the arc without losing speed, dipping the inside shoulder and flattening to the quarterback instead of running past him.
