Four-star defensive end Nolan Wilson, No. 53 in the 2026 ESPN 300, announced his pledge to Alabama on Friday, joining as the latest in a string of high-profile commitments to the Crimson Tide's 2026 recruiting class.
Wilson, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound prospect from Picayune, Mississippi, is ESPN's fifth-ranked defensive end and No. 4 recruit from the state of Mississippi in the 2026 cycle. He chose Alabama over finalists Auburn, Miami and Ole Miss following official visits to each school this spring, including a trip to see the Crimson Tide on the first weekend of June.
