Damon Wilson II claims the term sheet he signed last December was not legally binding. Wilson transferred to the Missouri Tigers just weeks after signing the agreement. The University of Georgia Athletic Association has said the contract requires Wilson to repay nearly $400,000.
In his countersuit, Wilson argues that legal counsel was not present when he signed the deal.
FOX 5 has reached out to UGA for comment and will provide updates if and when the university responds.
