Five-star defensive tackle Walter Nolen has committed to the Texas A&M Aggies. Nolen is rated as the No. 2 prospect in in the class of 2022.
Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Alabama were among the other schools vying for Nolen’s commitment. The five-star defensive tackle’s commitment gives a big boost to Jimbo Fisher’s class of 2022.
Walter Nolen plays high school football for St. Benedict at Auburndale in Cordova, Tennessee. At 6-foot-4 and weighs 325 pounds, Nolen has the size and skill to start as a true freshman.
Nolen is ranked as the best recruit in Tennessee and the best defensive tackle in the country. The only prospect ranked higher than Nolen is Florida State cornerback commitment Travis Hunter.

Kirby Smart and the University of Georgia currently have two elite defensive tackle commitments in the class of 2022 in Tyre West and Bear Alexander. How many defensive tackles will Georgia recruit?
Georgia will have to look elsewhere following Nolen’s commitment.
Jordan Davis, Travon Walker, Devonte Wyatt, and Julian Rochester could all head to the NFL following the upcoming 2021 college football season.
