The Georgia Bulldogs are heading into the offseason after suffering a quarterfinal loss in the College Football Playoff.
Georgia finished its 2024 college football season with an 11-3 record. While they secured the SEC championship and a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, they were defeated by Notre Dame on their road to the national title.
Days after the loss to the Fighting Irish, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs added salt to the wound.
On Monday, Georgia EDGE Damon Wilson entered the transfer portal, per Hayes Fawcett.
The elite defensive standout will have two years of eligibility remaining.
After a quiet 2023 season, where Wilson recoded half a sack and two tackles, he made a significant leap as a contributor for the Bulldogs in 2024. During the 2024 college football season, Wilson produced two forced fumbles, three sacks and 22 tackles.
Wilson served as the backup at the JACK linebacker position, behind Chaz Chambliss.

Wilson originally committed to the Bulldogs as a five-star prospect, ranked as the No. 3 EDGE and the No. 17 overall player in the nation, per 247Sports.
The Florida native was heavily recruited by powerhouse programs out of high school, including Ohio State, Miami, Auburn and Texas.
Wilson was a late commit to the Bulldogs’ 2023 recruiting class, with his decision coming down to Ohio State and Georgia.
