2026 4-Star DL Nolan Wilson Names Alabama in Top Schools

The Picayune, Mississippi native is ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 6 defensive lineman in the nation and the No. 3 player in the state. He stands at 6-foot-4, 240 lbs. and is explosive at the point of attack.

Wilson is an athletic defender with the ability to both run stop and rush the pass. He has long arms which he uses to easily shed blockers and quickly diagnose plays, and he is extremely explosive off the ball.

The highly sought after prospect is set to be in Tuscaloosa for an official visit on May 30, joining the first of several groups of talented players coming to town this summer.

As of now, the Tide holds five commitments in the 2026 recruiting class, so adding a player of Wilson's caliber would be a major boost. Despite a somewhat slower start, Kalen DeBoer and the staff look to be in a very good spot heading into the summer months.
