Georgia football is in the running for one of the best prospects in the 2022 recruiting class.

Five-star recruit and the No. 1 defensive tackle recruit in the country, Walter Nolen, has included the Bulldogs in his top-five schools.

Out of Cordova, Tenn., Nolen is the No. 1 player in the state and the No. 3 overall player for his class, per 247Sports Composite.

The St. Benedict at Auburndale High School prospect will choose among Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Michigan and Alabama.

Nolen (6-foot-4, 300 pounds) visited the Bulldogs in June.

247Sports recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks wrote,

“Stoutly assembled defensive lineman with college-ready size. Owns the requisite height and possesses verified length to foster more bulk addition if desired. Powerful build manifests in point-of-attack disruption. Flashes consistent suddenness at the snap and closes fast in pursuit.”

Georgia currently holds the No. 7 ranked recruiting class for 2022 and are looking for defensive line help after five-star Bear Alexander decommitted from the Bulldogs last month.
