In a significant development for Ohio State football, the Buckeyes have secured a commitment from four-star defensive end Damon Wilson, a former Georgia Bulldog. Wilson, a standout in the 2023 recruiting class, announced his decision to transfer to Ohio State, aiming to bolster the team’s defensive lineup for the upcoming season.
During his tenure at Georgia, Wilson recorded 22 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in the 2024 season. His unexpected entry into the transfer portal earlier this year garnered attention from several top programs, but Ohio State emerged as his chosen destination. This acquisition is poised to enhance the Buckeyes’ defensive end depth, especially with the potential departures of key players like J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer to the NFL.
Wilson’s commitment underscores Ohio State’s strategic focus on strengthening its defense, particularly the edge rush, to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
