We already know that Ohio State is off to a fast start in the 2022 recruiting cycle. After signing the No. 2 class in 2021 and the potential to still add J.T. Tuimoloau later in the spring, the Buckeyes just made the cut for another big-time name in the coming class.
Walter Nolen is listed as the No. 1 defensive tackle in the 2022 class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings and the No. 2 player overall. Nolen recently cut his list down to ten programs for consideration.
Included with Ohio State in his top ten are his home state Tennessee Volunteers, along with LSU, Alabama, Oregon, USC, Auburn, Florida, Clemson, and arch-rival Michigan.
Honored and blessed to say at this moment to have named my top ten schools at the moment recruitment is still fully open @Hayesfawcett3 @ChadSimmons_ @YONO96933567 @BigWalter79 @Coach_WallsSBA @dzoloty @ESPN3ALLDAY pic.twitter.com/An8GLk8v5G

Ohio State is still sitting pretty in the race for Tuimoloau. Adding the No. 1 defensive tackle in the country would be another home run for Ryan Day and a recruiting class that is shaping up to be one of the greatest in college football history.
