The #1 Defensive tackle in the 2022 class plays at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Walter Nolen played his high school ball in Olive Branch, Mississippi, prior to his junior year. The 6-5 290 lb DT is mammoth in size and will be giving offensive linemen in Florida fits for the next two years.
Nolen, while being ranked as the best DT in the country in his class, is ranked as the #2 player in the state of Florida and the #6 player in the entire country. Alabama, Florida, Florida State, LSU and Oklahoma are among his offers. Nolen will likely have his pick of schools by the time he is ready to move to the next level.
