The No. 1 defensive tackle and No. 2 overall prospect in the country is going to be playing for Texas A&M. Walter Nolen is a massive prospect from Powell, Tenn., and he is looking to make a name for himself next fall in the SEC.

The Aggies are going to be losing one of the best defensive players in the country in DeMarvin Leal. There are also going to be other guys on the line that will be gone from the defense, leaving the door open for Nolen to play right away.

Nolen checks in at 6-4, 325 pounds and is going to be a space-eater upfront and could be a similar player to Georgia’s Jordan Davis. Nolen is explosive for a prospect of his size and that is what is going to get him early playing time.

Nolen has early draft pick potential and could be an All-SEC type player sooner rather than later.
