No. 2 Texas A&M football

There is no question that the Aggies have some real momentum in Nolen’s recruitment right now. They got him on campus even though they weren’t in his top five and must have really impressed him because they went from outside the top five to in the top three.

Jimbo Fisher has been doing a spectacular job on the recruiting trail. The Aggies just landed a high-ranking four-star recruit in Bryce Anderson earlier this week and they are poised to put together another elite recruiting class in 2022.

In addition, to being the second-ranked recruit in the 2022 class according to 247 sports, Nolen is ranked No. 1 according to ESPN, and even though the Aggies already have the No. 11 recruiting class in 2022, one thing they don’t have is a dominant 300-pound defensive lineman like Nolen, which would fill the need with an elite prospect.

And even though the Aggies might not have surpassed Tennessee as the favorite yet, they are well on their way and if Nolen takes his recruitment past this month, that would probably be good news for Texas A&M football.
