Four-star defensive lineman Nolan Wilson has committed to Alabama via his Instagram live stream, making him the fourth defensive lineman to commit to the Crimson Tide this summer.

Wilson chose the Crimson Tide over Ole Miss, Auburn, and Miami. Alabama defensive line coach Freddie Roach was the leading recruiter for the 6-foot-4, 258-pound defensive lineman from Picayune, Mississippi. Wilson is ranked as the No. 58 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class and the No. 6 overall defensive lineman, according to 247 Composite.

Wilson visited Tuscaloosa four times during his recruitment, capping his visits to Alabama on May 30 with an official visit. The Tide got his first official visit of the Summer, with Wilson taking visits to Auburn, Ole Miss, and Miami after Alabama.

247 Sports national recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna wrote about Wilson in his evaluation:

"Long and nimble defensive end that flashes a high level of untapped athleticism off the edge as a pass rusher. Primarily positioned in an odd front as a five-technique, Wilson possesses the ability to bump inside situationally while showing the ability to utilize his first-step quickness and athleticism to his advantage off the line of scrimmage. Hovering around 240 pounds currently, the Magnolia State product will need to add a significant amount of weight to his frame at the next level as he continues to develop from a play strength standpoint at the point of attack. Although he’s an easy mover for his size, the Top247 standout can struggle with pad-level consistency off the snap, which can prevent him from effectively disengaging and coming off of blocks consistently in the run game. Projects as an above average to good starter at the Power Four level that will more than likely need one to two years to develop both from a physical and technical standpoint before making a significant impact on Saturdays."

Alabama now holds the No. 6 recruiting class according to the 247 class rankings.
